His opinion is actually a mainstream opinion in AI, see for example the textbook by Russell & Norvig. Descartes was the very opposite of a behaviorist, namely a rationalist. I do agree that we don't have anything that is clearly better than the Turing test, but this just goes to show how far we still have to go.

I missed the AI Winter. Norvig survived it. I would imagine that colors his thoughts on work towards general intelligence. Also the fact that all AI research that has actually done anything interesting has been of the "weak" (as I learned to call it) variety.

But look at me, ascribing thoughts and intentions on a black box that I cannot be sure really exists.
