Yes, I meant the Chinese Room. I couldn't remember the exact term. Thank you for that!
One test I heard of that sounded pretty promising is the ability of the computer to discover new patterns in existing data. Not just pattern matching, because that's possible without intelligence, but to discover new patterns from the existing data and use those new patterns to correctly predict the future. Now that's incredibly hard to do!!
Isn't the Turing Test strictly more powerful than the test you describe, because it can be administered as part of a Turing Test? It seems like humans find new patterns all the time.
