It seems to me that the Turing test, as well as the extended Turing test are inherently flaud and will never be able to tell us anything meaningful. That’s is why I would like to suggest a new kind of Turing test. My thought is the following. We face the same question with humans and every other material thing that exist, yet in other cases that seems a no brainier - why? It seems obvious to me that we all internally and thus as a whole define consciousness by self-similarity. A thing that makes you see yourself in a mirror will lead to the believe it is conscious. We see personality in dogs because they have human personality traits and are capable of comminicating emotions through facial expression. If one applies the same rule we apply to ourselves to AI, then that which you believe is conscious is conscious. If we think it through, we notice that consciousness according to this definition is non-binary. Instead it is like a ruler. We humans occupy an infinitely small section (not at either end) of said ruler. If something else happens to overlap with our section, we consider it conscious. However, keep in mind that something that is located to the left (a leaf for example) and something that is located to the right (A significantly more intelligent system) might seem very much alike to us - not conscious. Intelligence can never be a measure for consciousness. That being said, is AI conscious to you? submitted by /u/Fyuujini
