A British mathematician, Alan Turing, invented developed an experiment in 1950 to find out if a computer can think or not. The eperiment’s experiment's famous (The name of the test can't be too famous, as I've never heard of it before.) name is the Turing Test. Alan Turing put a group of people in a room and asked them to talk to someone in another room. If the group of people decided that they were talking to a person or they did not know who were talking to, then the computer has passed the test. However, although many competitions have been convened, no computer has passed the test.
The lecturer stated that the Turing Test depends on behaviors rather than thoughts. He approved his perspective by mentioning John Searal’s experiment when he put a monolingual speaker in a room and asked him to arrange letters of a foreign language that he did not know. (There are too many pronouns in this sentence. I'm not sure who he and him are.) Mr. Searal allowed the man to use reference books to arrange the letters. The man arranged the letters without knowing the meaning, the results of his this experiment reflected that the man reacted like the computer did.
The lecturer concluded that Turing’s test is useless because it depends on behaviors rather than thoughts and did not answer the question, do computers think.
