In the review of the book (
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1558607838/ref=ase_hawaiichesspr-20/002-8276900-7542465
), it is stated that the author rejects the Turing test of AI.

On that basis, I reject this book.

When computers are as intelligent as humans, they'll be able to pass the Turing
test.

As it was when Turing set the test, so it still is now.

The problem isn't that the Turing test is wrong - it's that computers are not
yet powerful enough (or not well enough programmed) to pass the Turing test.
