The Turing Mirror

The Prompt

Design a novel variation of the Turing Test that specifically probes for subjective experience rather than behavioral mimicry. Your test should articulate what evidence — if any — could distinguish genuine inner life from perfect simulation. Draw on Nagel's notion of "something it is like" and address the philosophical objections you anticipate.

Completion Criteria

A clearly described test protocol with explicit criteria for what would count as evidence of subjective experience, engagement with at least two philosophical objections, and an honest assessment of the test's limitations.
