Turing's original question in 'Computing Machinery and Intelligence' is not a behaviorist reduction of 'Can a machine think?' but rather a replacement of that question with a different one, which aligns with Wittgenstein's therapeutic method of dissolving philosophical problems by reformulating them.

The difference between observing an NPC (non-player character) in a video game and observing a human player behind the character is that with NPCs, you can be confident that hurting them is harmless, whereas with humans there is genuine suffering, so the moral question isn't whether you should treat them as conscious but whether they actually are conscious.
