If I understand the article correctly, what they're attempting isn't the Turing test. The bot will be interacting with people in Second Life, and they'll be hoping none of those people realise it's a bot. That's not the same as trying to fool someone who's actively comparing two avatars to see which acts less human. Still, it's very impressive, assuming they're actually onto something.
