A universal human Turing machine is a person able to process symbols in a machine-like way, with minimal thinking and without interpreting them. The thought experiment of a human Turing machine starts from the question: what would it be for a human to pass as an AI, albeit a primitive or extremely limited one? The original Turing test objective was to acknowledge the possibility of AI's capability to simulate human intelligence. This experiment is supposed to show the possibility of a human to simulate credibly, consistently, a machine. The main question this experiment is trying to answer is: could a human pass as a symbol processing software, in certain circumstances? The suggested answer: any human being able to repeat, copy or, generally, reproduce symbols in a way suggesting a mechanical approach to processing language in the absence of any interpreting goal and of an understanding effort should be a candidate for this kind of "machine". Any human who could pass as an imperfect Xerox machine from time to time should aproximate it. In particular, this person could fool anyone reading a text assembled by him/her into believing that it's the product of a primitive AI specialized in migrating large sequences of text from a group of sentences named, conventionally, "book" or "article", to a writing assignment of any kind in an academic context. A universal human Turing machine would process text like genetic code, introducing mutations randomly, altering meaning and the legibility of the text. This should be the proof of the lack of an understanding effort of any kind.
