me for what it does but it still lacks intelligence. It would
not pass the Turing test.
It is a tough one to pass and all the rule based programs
ever made or ever will be made could pass the Turing test
for long. The thought was that Artificial Intelligence was
a
rule based system.
"Rule based systems" turn out to be incredibly useful. Do you ever use
Google Maps?
(Noting that the afore-mentioned Peter Norvig, who did a lot of work
with symbolic AI, is Google's Director of Research. :)

Rule based systems can play a good game of Chess
but lack the ability to analyze and adapt ...
Even my pet dog has more intelligence and I have a
