Alan Turing's paper in which he first lays out the idea of the Turing Test for AI is surprisingly prescient in many particulars. But one thing that stands out is when he is considering various arguments for why computers might not be able to pass the Turing Test, he considers the objection that humans will be able to display some telepathic abilities that computers won't as one of the strongest counter-arguments. He considers it nearly a given that these abilities exist.
