Not even a clear definition of what "conscious" means.

A definition of conscious is a high bar to cross! :-) One minor point is precisely that we don't know what the Turing test is measuring - it's measuring something related to intelligence and consciousness, possibly, but what exactly isn't clear.

I think the more relevant points are the flaw in the Turing test (what should we expect after the headlines "AI passes the Turing test"?), and the possibility of quasi-p-zombies.

The idea that "a secret Turing test is better than an overt one" is fine for Discussion, maybe, or for an open thread.

I disagree, but will take your judgement into account.
