we could also say we dont communicate with current but with signals. electric charge flow is rather different thanelectronflow.
there is indeed still debateabout whether our nervous system is fundamentallyelectric..... its certainly part of it, and cambeused to influenceit, but there are other chemicals and steuctures at work as well, as you say.
the point of theturing test is really to say that if you cant tell whether you are talking to a man or machine, and you believe a man is sentient, the you must assumethe machineis as well.... we haveno other mechanism to decide this. we caneven debate how we canprove ourselves to. ese tient.
