No dolphin could ever pass Turing Test. Yet no one who spent some time around dolphins will deny they are intelligent. For that matter a lot of
humans will not pass Turing Test, especially if they are from a different cultural background than the person testing them. I do not know what Alan Turing was thinking, but his test is enormously restrictive.
Think of a robot (and I am fully aware that such robot is beyond current capabilities) designed for mountain rescue. It has to navigate very hazardous terrain, locate injured and possibly delirious people, evaluate the nature of injuries, supply first aid, secure a portable shelter on very non-flat ground and possibly in gale-force wind, and do many other things I had not thought of. Such robot would have to have cognitive functions which would make it intelligent by any reasonable definition. Yet it has absolutely no need to
talk, except to reassure victims – and that can be done easily with ELIZA-type canned phrases. (All communications with other rescue units/personnel should be done by high speed electronic file transfer, not through slow and imprecise human speech.) Such robot will fare worse at Turing Test than your average parrot.
