Turing Test

[Jamie McKittrick]

Slightly misleading to the point of being bogus. This "SUPERCOMPUTER" is
actually just a chatbot scripted to mimic conversation. Also it's a bit of
a stinky trick to tell participants that they're talking to a 13 year-old
boy from the Ukraine to dismiss any odd responses from the machine.

Also, Robert Llewellen on the panel? Was part of the criteria for being a
judge that you had to have played an artificial intelligence in a low
budget BBC sci-fi comedy? Is he the gold standard? It's a funny idea for
sure but little more than sensationalist journalism. Skynet hasn't gone
online... yet.
