Performance of a system on TT shows how human that is, but not neccessarily
how intelligent. For example if some martians arrive and somehow learn
our language, they most likely can not pass the TT since they would be
most likely very different from humans and possible to distinguish. Would
that mean they are less intelligent? Or that they are not intelligent at all?
Is there any other, more objective test that tests for intelligence, not
for similarity to human beings?
