Max Herm on 19 Feb 14"While we don't know what thought or intelligence is, essentially, and while we're very far from agreed on what things do and don't have it, almost everyone agrees that humans think, and agrees with Descartes that our intelligence is amply manifest in our speech. Along these lines, Alan Turing suggested that if computers showed human level conversational abilities we should, by that, be amply assured of their intelligence. Turing proposed a specific conversational test for human-level intelligence, the "Turing test" it has come to be called. Turing himself characterizes this test in terms of an "imitation game"" This seems to be a wonderful source, and I feel that it is reliable because it is an official academic resource, reviewed by many. I plan on using this fantastic source for general information, and specifically the bit I quoted for determining exactly what qualifies as an artificial intelligence. Many computers are considered "thoughtful" but what truly defines AI I play to learn from Turing's Test; an experiment developed by Alan Turing (another facet I would consider researching)
