- Abstract: In the wake of the latest trends of artificial intelligence (AI), there has been a resurgence of claims and questions about the Turing test and its value, which are reminiscent of decades of practical "Turing" tests. If AI were quantum physics, by now several "Schr\"odinger's" cats would have been killed. It is time for a historical reconstruction of Turing's beautiful thought experiment. This paper presents a wealth of evidence, including new archival sources, and gives original answers to several open questions about Turing's 1950 paper, including its relation with early AI.

We are now living in one of many possible Turing futures where machines can pass for what they are not.
However, the learning machines that Turing imagined would pass his imitation tests were machines inspired by the natural development of the low-energy human cortex.

Consistent reasoning, which lies at the core of human intelligence, is the ability to handle tasks that are equivalent.
CRP asserts that consistent reasoning implies fallibility -- in particular, human-like intelligence in AI necessarily comes with human-like fallibility.

The current state-of-the-art in artificial intelligence is impressive, especially in terms of mastery of language, but not so much in terms of mathematical reasoning.
This essay builds on the idea that current deep learning mostly succeeds at system 1 abilities.
It takes an information-theoretical posture to ask questions about what constitutes an interesting mathematical statement.

Mathematics is one of the most powerful conceptual systems developed and used by the human species.
Rapid progress in AI, particularly propelled by advances in large language models (LLMs), has sparked renewed, widespread interest in building such systems.

We sidestep the question of whether a machine can be labeled intelligent, or can be said to match human capabilities in a given context.
We first draw attention to the seemingly simpler question a person may ask themselves in an everyday interaction: Am I interacting with a human or with a machine?''
