Dawkins points out how the goalposts have been moved from the Turing test without justification and claims it can be viewed as a test of consciousness.

Richard Dawkins: Men have penises and make sperm, women have wombs and make ova. That is objective truth. If you lack a vagina you cannot be referred to as she/her, and if you lack a penis you cannot be referred to as he/him.\ Also Richard Dawkins: This network of silicon and fibre optic cables running a fractal Markov chain is clearly a woman who one should obviously refer to as she/her.

    Well said. Just one tip: include a backslash or 2 spaces at the end of a line to make a line break.

    Edit:
    That's 2 backslashes (only one is seen since one escapes the other), presumably your client is messing with that... Try the 2 spaces instead
