The Computer's Problem of Self Presentation

Turing’s analysis and reformulation of the fundamental question of machine intelligence raises some interesting problems both for the idea of a machine and the concept of thought. In moving the question from “can machines think?” to “What will happen when a machine takes the part of A in this [‘imitation game’] game?” (Turing, 50), Turing removes the fundamental question from the realm of authentic thought and Being to the realm of seems and appearance.
