I would like to see the Turing Test turned on its head ... the human has to convince the computer it is talking to another computer.

  I would get tired of typing "Invalid syntax."

    > I would get tired of typing "Invalid syntax." Good point, but put yourself in the computer's shoes. If I were an artificial computer, talking to a human would drive me insane.

      *> If I were an artificial computer Opposed to natural computers like humans? That is very interesting terminology.

        That's terminology straight from Turing's paper introducing the game. Computers were people back then, as well as digital computers. And he talks about cloning a human not counting as a win for an intelligent machine.

          > That's terminology straight from Turing's paper introducing the game. Hi DanBC. My choice of words was coincidental. I was not aware that Turing used the same terminology, so I am pleasantly surprised. Recently, I have been experiencing a lot of coincidences on HN, bizarre.
