a conversation with a strong AI and a conversation on this forum is that it's taken as a given that none of the posts are originated from within the forum - they're from outside, displayed in the forum. You might have an argument if the AI *were* posting on UF; but if the conversation is with the AI using no intermediary, then, it seems to me, the human would be much more likely to identify the originator as "just a machine" and therefore not intelligent. There's a lot more similarity between a human and a horse than between a human and a computer - at least, as most people are accustomed to thinking of a computer.
