against makers.
2.Separation user/maker and lower regard for techne.
3.How can God know better despite being the

Turing Test:
respects the minimalist criterion
uses the levels of abstraction
is constructionist.
Minimalism. Turing refuses to provide an answer to the
question can a machine think?. Not well-defined problem
because of such vague concepts as machine and thinking.
Imitation Game = better management of resources.
Levels of Abstraction. Turing Test is a Level of Abstraction.
The rules of the game define the conditions of observability.
By changing the rules of the game one changes the LoA so
the answer will change too.
