The reading passage gives us some information about the Turing Test. The text share with us the premises on which it is based, the procedure of the test and criteria of the success. Alan Turing surmised that his test is able to answer on the question whereas a computer can think or not. At the same time, the lecturer asserts that other scientist believes that the Turing test is meaningless because of reasons which are given in detail below.
Firstly, a possibility exists that a computer may be designed in such a way that it can deceive a person who checks the machine's intelligence through creation a huge data base of possible answers. Consequently, a machine may pass the test even if it is not able to think.
Secondly, it is quite probable that a human being may not pass the test, in case the participants of the experiment belong to different cultures and speak in distinct languages. In this case, there is needed a common context which will allow them to understand each other.
Finally, although no computer system or machine has ever passed the Turing test, it is highly questionably to believe that passing it will prove that the computer can think. The crucial reason of this situation is that the test is based on measuring one's behavior rathen than on paying attention to process of thinking. As a result, a machine can pass the test and a man can faild it. Thus, the Turing test is meaningless.

some
information about the Turing
Test
. The text share with us the premises on which it
is based
, the procedure of the

and criteria of the success. Alan Turing surmised that his
test
is able to answer on the question whereas a computer can
think
or not. At the same time, the lecturer asserts that other scientist believes that the Turing
test
is meaningless
because
of reasons which are
given
in detail below.
Firstly
, a
possibility
exists that a computer may
be designed
in such a way that it can deceive a person who
checks
the machine's intelligence through creation a huge data base of possible answers.
Consequently
, a machine may pass the
test
even if it is not able to
think
.
Secondly
, it is quite probable that a human being may not pass the
test
, in case the participants of the experiment belong to
different
cultures and speak in distinct languages.
In this case
, there
is needed
a common context which will
allow
them to understand each other.
Finally
, although no computer system or machine has ever passed the Turing
test
, it is
highly
questionably
to believe that passing it will prove that the computer can
think
. The crucial reason of this situation is that the
test
is based
on measuring one's behavior
rathen

As a result
, a machine can pass the
test
and a

it.
Thus
, the Turing
