Based on this article, if 33% of the judges were fooled maybe some better judges are in order.
It seems there are two ways to beat the Turing test. Come up with very clever algorithms or (probably easier) get some less discerning judges.
The whole thing reminds me of this: http://www.cleverbot.com/ http://www.cleverbot.com/
Not Turing convincing, but I found it fun.
- Timmmmbob 12y agoYeah the Onion article writes itself: "Turing test proves that 30% of judges are actually computers." A recent Turing test at Reading University backfired after it was discovered that nearly a third of the apparently human judges were discovered to be less intelligent than a ZX Spectrum. Suspicions were raised when they were unable to carry on sophisticated conversations with the programs being tested and instead nattered on about banal topics such as their job, popular music, and another thing. Ok I'm done. I don't write for free! Anyway, Onion writers, make it happen.

- breadbox 12y agoGetting better judges would spoil the point of this event, namely to drum up some free publicity for the organizers. Alan Turing would probably be depressed at having his name associated with all these silly events.
