The Turing Test

A computer that could pass the Turing test would first of all need the ability to communicate with humans and understand language and grammar. It would have to know how to respond appropriately to commonly asked questions someone. A super intelligent computer would be able to identify certain common slang terms or street language. It could answers the questions eloquently, without stiff or unnatural responses. In order for a computer to pass, the tester shouldn't be able to tell the difference between the computer and a human. Therefore the computers answers must be as natural as possible and mimic human intelligence as much as possible. It would be necessary for a computer to have some sort of sense of humor or understanding of humor, because most humans value humor and use it in their everyday conversations. If a computer simply mimics the tester, it is not truly intelligent, therefore a genuinely intelligent would have the appropriate intelligence and responses programmed inside them. The human mind is extremely complex therefore the amount of complexity in computer programming that must go into an extremely artificially intelligent computer would also have to be very complex, something that was an extremely simplified version of the thought processes of a human mind. Technically, a computer would not have to correctly answer every single question correctly because most humans could not correctly answer every single questions posed to them. Humans ability to make errors are what make them genuinely human therefore if a computer is mimicking human intelligence, it could be allowed to make mistakes too!
