Additionally, you can fool people with some simple tricks like what was mentioned. In the Loebner Prize the programmer and/or person being "tested" was allowed to pick the topic. 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...
