> Unfortunately, Turing underestimated the propensity of humans to be fooled by machines. Even simple chatbots, such as Joseph Weizenbaum’s 1960s ersatz psychotherapist Eliza, have fooled people into believing they were conversing with an understanding being, even when they knew that their conversation partner was a machine. This is not a Turing test. Or at least not a reasonable one. A reasonable Turing consists of a judge and 2 interfaces, one which chats with a computer and the other which chats with a human. Both the human and computer are trying to convince the judge that they are the human. If the judge cannot determine which is which after an open-ended conversation then the computer passes. There is no reasonable judge which after chatting with a human (who is actually trying to convince the judge they are human) would be unable to differentiate between a human and Eliza or any other chatbot out there.
