Storyline
You are a math student. You found a handwritten letter hidden in an old book in the library.
It reads, “A computer would deserve to be called intelligent if it could deceive a human into believing that it was human. To remain in control, humans may deceive computers into believing they are human. Intelligence will then come not from deception but from self awareness. Are you human or are you deceived?” Signed “Alan Turing”.
Why does this unsettle you so much? You must find out more.
