"Judge intelligence by behavior, not by substrate Drawing on Alan Turing's 1950 Imitation Game paper and his own college experience interacting with an early chatbot that convincingly mimicked a psychologist, Tyson argues that the material a thinking system is made of is philosophically irrelevant to how we should treat it. "I think it's artificial to distinguish what you're made of versus how you actually get interacted with." Anyone designing teams, hiring people, or evaluating AI tools would make better decisions by focusing on demonstrated behavior and output rather than credentials or origin.
