That was more the point of the “Chinese room” thought experiment.
I always understood the Turing test to be the ultimate form of “When computers can do <thing>, they can be considered to be truly intelligent.” to put an end to all other such definitions which had been previously put forward as possibile criteria for machine intelligence.
yes, but I never understood it as that. I thought it was more a philosophical thought experiment about humans and a reply to people who don't/didn't believe in (strong) AI. "You think humans are intelligent and have conciousness - but how do you know that another person has that?"
