3178	A fast machine could pass all behavioural tests with a vast lookup table [Block, by Rey]
	Full Idea: Ned Block proposes a machine (a 'blockhead') which could pass the Turing Test just by looking up responses in a vast look-up table.
	From: report of Ned Block (works [1984]) by Georges Rey - Contemporary Philosophy of Mind 5.3
	A reaction: Once you suspected you were talking to a blockhead, I think you could catch it out in a Turing Test. How can the lookup table keep up to date with immediate experience? Ask it about your new poem.
