*> If I were an artificial computer

Opposed to natural computers like humans? That is very interesting terminology.



That's terminology straight from Turing's paper introducing the game.

Computers were people back then, as well as digital computers. And he talks about cloning a human not counting as a win for an intelligent machine.

Hi DanBC.

My choice of words was coincidental. I was not aware that Turing used the same terminology, so I am pleasantly surprised. Recently, I have been experiencing a lot of coincidences on HN, bizarre.
