The whole thing was generated. Any specific reason you couldn't make sense of it? Any non-sequiturs? Would you prefer more monty python references?


I honestly can't tell if this was generated or not either. Where does the monty python reference come from?

FWIW:

- The ab nihilo mention of 'Turing explains' (explains what? where?) feels odd.

- The quotes are redundant, but seem designed to make the statement sound weighty.

- "It's" is a common grammatical error in corpuses, but not one likely to be made by any kind of practising philosopher.

- The concept of "meaning" is one implicitly eschewed by the Turing test, so the discussion of meaning here seems odd.

- The comment is circular: unless we build minds, we won't build things that pass the Turing tests, which are minds.


Well, I will dismiss all the nitpicky npc nonsense here and just repeat myself.

Are we trying to build minds? Or is all the effort going into building automated money savers that take away trivial jobs? That is the main point here.
