   The Turing test as far as I remember was intended to test if something   
   could pass off as human. But I think that would be a useless A.I. as we   
   already have more humans than we know what to do with.   
      
   The question is, could an A.I. be conscious? I don't think a Large   
   Language Model can be, but Google is threatening to release something   
   which is capable of reasoning and planning. What do they mean by that?   
   Could it plan something which has never been planned before?   
      
   Can you tell if another human being is conscious? or do you just assume   
   it.
