Alan Turing on brains, machines, and porridge

Tweet
“[W]e are not interested in the fact that the brain has the consistency of cold porridge. We don’t want to say ‘This machine’s quite hard, so it isn’t a brain, so it can’t think.'”
Alan Turing (1952). “Can automatic calculating machines be said to think?” BBC Third Programme, 14 and 23 Jan. 1952, discussion between M.H.A. Newman, Alan M. Turing, Sir Geoffrey Jefferson, and R.B. Braithwaite.
Posted in honor of The Imitation Game by Leland Purvis and me…read it at Tor.com.
