So what would you say? Culture is what makes a human, plus a few basic

It is faster
and more accurate than me for what it does but it still
lacks intelligence. It would not pass the Turing test.
Those are, in general, not equivalent statements. The Turing test is
arguably a sufficient criterion to indicate intelligence. It is not a
necessary one - and, indeed, I think a grossly nonhuman intelligence
would be a lot more interesting than one which could pass for human. I
can communicate with humans, even reasonably intelligent ones, without
too much trouble; I would very much like to communicate with a
nonhuman, the farther from human the better - the perspective on
existence such an entity would bring would be fascinating and could
hardly help being interesting. /~\ The ASCII Mouse
