Maybe that's only your opinion. ;P

It's possible the Turing Test has scientific criteria I am unaware of. If not, it's not much of a test.

As a side note, it's curious that the test was proposed as a blind test. It is interesting how people often give preference to the sight sense. If I see a mouse, it's real. If I only hear a mouse, maybe not. That made the scenarios of the movie Ex Machina all the more fascinating, as the main character was allowed full access to the AI - the point being it would be more persuasive if, even after seeing, etc. the AI, you're still convinced it's sentient. But that's a digression from my question.

Is the Turing Test anything more than conversing with the thing in question and then rendering an opinion on whether it is human or not? The emphasis being on the word 'opinion'.

Correction: 'The emphasis being on all the words you used there, having overhwhelming objective evidence supporting the inference that they carry meanings confined to only human minds'.

I mean after all, why single out just one word: 'opinion' and ignore that overwhelming evidence?
What would possibly support separating this one word out from all the rest you're using there, whilst ignoring all the rest of that overwhelming evidence?
