Has Cleverbot Passed the Turing Test? 427
kruhft writes "It seems that Cleverbot, the chatbot so ready to admit that it was a unicorn during a discussion with itself, has passed the Turing test. This past Sunday, the 1334 votes from a Turing test held at the Techniche festival in Guwahati, India were released. They revealed that Cleverbot was voted to be human 59.3% of the time. Real humans did only slightly better and were assumed to be humans 63.3% of the time." As the Wikipedia link above points out, though, there's no single, simple "Turing Test," per se — many systems have successfully convinced humans over the years. Perhaps Cleverbot would consent to taking part in a Slashdot interview, to be extra-convincing.

Nothing unusual about the grammar. "Maths" is what they call "math" over in America.

I don't read those as "Chatterbot passes turing test." I read them as "Human fails turing test."
Someone took an ALICE-like bot to IRC, loaded with slightly-flirtatious dialog and with a slightly-flirtatious and female name. It got hit on, and it fooled entirely too many guys for entirely too long.

Judging by the Indian programmers and support I've had the displeasure of working with, the logical divorce/completely non sequitur responses of this bot likely seem quite human to them - language capabilities aside!
If we go by you comment we would think that most people from US ( coz u put in a .us domain) are RACIST RETARDS.
While going by the behaviour of most Americans I met in India I find them to be pretty nice people.
Also the smarter Indians do not work in Technical Support they get better money building innovative products,running businesses and taking your jobs.
BTW ... regarding smartness of Indians ....we did not elect George Bush TWICE and a bunch of jokers like the TEA Party would not be considered a valid political force here. So go figure who is smart.
