Twelve reasons to toss the Turing test

I posted this one day to comp.ai.philosophy, because it seemed to me that the Turing test had passed from being an interesting philosophical piece to a stumbling block which actually impedes thinking about AI and about intelligence.

Turing originally proposed the test in "Computing Machinery and Intelligence", Mind, Vol. LIX, No. 236 (1950). The article is reprinted in The Mind's I, eds. Hofstadter and Dennett.
