To pass the Turing test AI would most likely need to be a lot more intelligent than humans. Being able to convincingly emulate something is harder than merely running your own 'native operating system'.

Human: I ate pizza today. AI: You ate pizza today? Human: Yes it was delicious. AI: How delicious was it? One participant actually guarded her screen from the researchers because she was having such an intimate conversation with what she thought was another person.

One of the programs that won did so by picking the topic "silly conversations" and having the machine output gibberish. The judge thought this was a person being silly (how could a computer be silly?) and rated it a human. Someone who knows anything about AI/NLP won't fall for this though. http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~shieber/Biblio/Papers/loebner-rev-html/loebner-rev-html.html http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~shieber/Biblio/Papers/loebner-r...
