Two things:<p>1) The A.I is not just a set of symbols, it&#x27;s a physical machine, which means you&#x27;re answering a different question.<p>2) The structure of the test means that you have stripped down the objects to be compared to the sounds they produce, and yet a person is more than sounds, as is the computer. Whenever we use the relation &#x27;X is a Y&#x27; there is an implicit definition of the identities of X and Y; the more abstract it that definition is, the more things your relation will accept; at some level of abstraction the human and the A.I. may be called equivalent—but you&#x27;d have to state which one you&#x27;re talking about.
