You may keep saying this for a while. It doesn't matter in the long run, in my opinion. Because the more interesting thing with AI (and in the Turing test in general) is that humans cannot but ascribe sensitivity and human-like qualties to a counterpart that produces reactions which are on a certain level of complexity. (See our reactions towards our pets.) The main question therefore is not whether AI is "alive" or "can learn", in fact, "has cognition" or even "consciousness" or a "self", but that as we cannot but project these qualities given a certain type of complex behaviour we come to doubt whether we ourselves are any different from these machines. I guess this less obvious question is what drives many to fear or being skeptical about AI. If these things can be so successful, how can we be sure to be humans at all?
