I read an interesting take on the Turing Test recently where (I wish I could remember who) observed that Alan Turing wasn't so much arguing that machine intelligence was possible, but that machine intelligence that imitates human intelligence was good enough as to make the discussion meaningless. It was suggested that Alan Turing was metaphorically discussing homosexuality - and that if he could pass for straight, did it matter that he was gay? Seen in that context, the imitative nature of "intelligence" shifts the discussion a bit...
