ring Test. In October 1950, the British journal Mind published an essay by Alan M. Turing titled, "Computing Machinery and Intelligence," in which Turing proposed an operational definition for "intelligence" [2]. This definition would come to be called "the Turing Test." Turing himself called it "the

Interesting because Turing was homosexual and perhaps accustomed to such an imitation game. But in the matter of intelligence, such an operational definition made some sense
