   A philosopher argues that if an AI system can pass the Turing test by convincingly mimicking human conversation, it should be considered conscious. A computer scientist disagrees. What is the strongest technical argument against the philosopher's position?

   • APassing the Turing test demonstrates the ability to simulate human conversation, not the presence of consciousness or subjective experience.
   • BThe AI system is just following a script and cannot generate new responses.
   • CConsciousness requires biological neurons, which AI systems do not have.
   • DThe Turing test is too easy; many simple programs can pass it.

   A chess AI system defeats a grandmaster by evaluating millions of possible moves per second. The grandmaster, however, often makes intuitive moves that are difficult for the AI to predict. What does this scenario best illustrate about the difference between human and AI reasoning?

   • AThe AI is more intelligent because it can calculate more moves than the human.
   • BThe AI uses exhaustive search and probabilistic evaluation, while the human uses intuition and pattern recognition.
   • CThe human's intuition is actually a form of algorithmic reasoning.
   • DBoth the AI and the human use the same reasoning process, but the AI is faster.

   A tech journalist writes that a new AI system 'is self-aware' because it can recognize itself in a mirror and describe its own programming. What is the most accurate technical response to this claim?

   • AThe system has self-awareness because it can generate a description of its own code.
   • BThe system's ability to recognize itself proves it has a sense of identity.
   • CThe system performs pattern recognition and follows programmed instructions; it does not have consciousness or subjective experience.
   • DThe system is conscious because it can process information about itself.
