“I propose to consider the question, ‘Can machines think?’ This should begin with definitions […] But this is absurd. Instead of attempting such a definition I shall replace the question by another […]“ – A.M.Turing¹
Turing clearly states he asks a _different_ (while related) question: can a machine “win” the imitation game – i.e. can we distinguish a person from a machine in chat. That's it.
