Unfortunately the assumed chain of events which means that passing the Turing test sounds the death knell for humanity appears to have become engrained in the thinking in certain quarters. What we do wish to dispel, however, is the assumption which links passing the Turing test with the achievement for machines of human-like or human-level intelligence.
In this paper we do not wish to dispute the latter of these arguments, dramatic though it is.
The direct consequence of this, as pointed out by Kurzweil and others, is that the singularity will be upon us, thereby resulting in the demise of the human race. There are those who believe that passing the Turing test means that human-level intelligence will have been achieved by machines.
