Turing Test Passed 432
schwit1 (797399) writes "Eugene Goostman, a computer program pretending to be a young Ukrainian boy, successfully duped enough humans to pass the iconic test. The Turing Test which requires that computers are indistinguishable from humans — is considered a landmark in the development of artificial intelligence, but academics have warned that the technology could be used for cybercrime. Computing pioneer Alan Turing said that a computer could be understood to be thinking if it passed the test, which requires that a computer dupes 30 per cent of human interrogators in five-minute text conversations."

Now only if it could have a 33% rate success in convincing other humans it was an exiled Nigerian dictator who needed some help moving his money out of the country.

Is it because you think that the test is failed because 30% on a small child doesn't seem anything like the real turing test that it is also meaningless?

I'd say the test is obsolete. It's not measuring the advances in AI, but the involution of humans. Have you looked at Facebook status messages?
