To sum up Alan Turing something can think if it can fool humans in the imitation game.

I don’t find that a particulary satisfying definition, and doubt an up-to-date Alan Turing would either.

I’m not so sure that he would. The whole thing is rather moot though because thinking isn’t a yes or no question.
A fun quote I heard previously, was from someone involved in making bear proof garbage bins stating that there were challenges because there’s a significant overlap between the dumbest humans and the smartest bears.
