The Perfect Test for Intelligence

We have to be cautious about equating conversational ability with sentience. We can, in fact, just watch random shapes moving around a computer screen and we will assign intention and feel emotion depending on exactly how they're moving. Just because you think that an answer sounds very clever, or it sounds like a human, really tells us very little about whether the AI is actually intelligent or sentient. It only tells us something about the willingness of us as observers to anthropomorphize to assign intention where there is none.
