The Turing Test Is Kind of a Joke Too

Still, there is certainly something very interesting about the fact that a computer tricked at least 10 judges into thinking it was human, even for five minutes. Our programs are becoming smart enough to convince us that they're a foreign-exchange students for a bit, and the bots are beginning to grasp the basic contours of our language.But even that doesn't necessarily portend any nascent dawn of artificial intelligence. In a great recent essay, Frederick deBoer, a rhetoric scholar at Purdue University, explained why he's a "crabby patty about AI and cognitive science."Has anybody checked whether the reason the Turing Test has been "beaten" is because the humans got dumber?
