Sorry, by chatbot I meant an intelligent AI programmed only to do chat. An AI trapped in the proverbial box.
I agree that a rigorous mathematical definition of personhood is important, but I doubt that I will be able to make a meaningful contribution in that area anytime in the next few years. For now, I think we should be able to think of some philosophical or empirical test of chatbot personhood.
I still feel confused about this and I think that's because we still don't have a good definition of what a person actually is; but we shouldn't need a rigorous mathematical mathematical test in order to gain a better understanding of what defines a person.
The Turing test isn't a horrible test of personhood, from that attitude, but without better understanding of 'personhood' I don't think it's appropriate to spend time trying to come up with a better one.
