"Explaining the mind by building machines with minds runs into the\nother-minds problem: How can we tell whether any body other than our own has a\nmind when the only way to know is by being the other body? In practice we all use\nsome form of Turing Test: If it can do everything a body with a mind can do such\nthat we can't tell them apart, we have no basis for doubting it has a mind. But what\nis \"everything\" a body with a mind can do? Turing's original \"pen-pal\" version (the\nTT) only tested linguistic capacity, but Searle has shown that a mindless\nsymbol-manipulator could pass the TT undetected. The Total Turing Test (TTT)\ncalls for all of our linguistic and robotic capacities; immune to Searle's argument, it\nsuggests how to ground a symbol manipulating system in the capacity to pick out\nthe objects its symbols refer to. No Turing Test, however, can guarantee that a\nbody has a mind. Worse, nothing in the explanation of its successful performance\nrequires a model to have a mind at all. Minds are hence very different from the\nunobservables of physics (e.g., superstrings); and Turing Testing, though essential\nfor machine-modeling the mind, can really only yield an explanation of the body. \n"^^ .
