Maybe this will get answered, if it doesn't, oh well.
I just remembered that I totally forgot to ask after the AI speech whether or not he had looked into programs like Elisa, which were able to pass the turing test but obviously wern't turing inteligences.
For curious people, Elisa played a psycologist type person, who would just feed someones questions back to to whoever was talking to it, seeming human, but would obviously not be able to understand any of what it was talking about.
