Part I:
The following four questions were asked, and each subject was allowed to answer. The order of answers alternated to balance out the "thinking" time.
Q (cg): What would you describe as the purpose of your existence?
Subject A: (no answer)
Subject B: To woo women.
Q (ts): Describe where the other subject is, relative to you.
Subject B: On a chair.
Subject A: (no answer)
Q (cg): Describe the last meal you ate.
Subject A: (no answer)
Subject B: These chicken chunks (after joking about eating subject A)
Q (ts): How do you feel about your mother?
Subject B: She gives me money, I like her.
Subject A: (no answer)
Part II:
Next, some free association was done on each of the subjects.
Subject A Subject B
Prompt ..............Answer ........Prompt ...............Answer
Love (cg) ........(no answer) ..... Health (cg) ........Sex
Spam (cg) .......(no answer) ..... Lovett (cg) ........Sex
Blender (ts) .....(no answer) ..... Ribosome (ts) ....Sex
Flame (ts) .......(no answer) .....Chlorophyll (ts)... Sex
Long Term Results:
After the test was over, our human subject was allowed to eat the Twinkie subject. After he departed, we analyzed the data. After careful study of all responses, we determined that subject A was the Twinkie, and B was the human.
Since we were able to distinguish between the two subjects, the Twinkie fails the Turing test.
Conclusions:
Twinkies are not sentient in any way we can understand.
