The Turing test does not prove consciosuness. It doesn’t prove that the thing in the box isn’t just simulating consciousness well enough to fool the observer.

The Turing test does not prove consciosuness. It doesn’t prove that the thing in the box isn’t just simulating consciousness well enough to fool the observer. In this case we know what is inside the black box: matrix multiplication inside GPU’s. We know that’s not conscious any more than a video game being rendered is conscious. So we’ve effectively disproved the utility of the Turing test by showing that we can make something that simulates consciousness and fools human beings without it being conscious.
