[huetius]

I don’t know. To me, to assert that there is no meaningful difference between a thing and what we know to be an artificial imitation of that thing is to assert that there’s no meaningful difference between truth and lies, so long as the lies are convincing enough.

[tsimionescu]

Is there a meaningful difference between a car and a horse as a means of transport? Is a car an artificial imitation of a horse?

The assertion of the Imitation Game is that IF the computer is equivalent to the person in the game, then they are like the car and the horse.
