Computer becomes first to pass Turing Test in artificial intelligence milestone

Okay so nothing.

Then i don't believe that you are in any position to make comments on the relevance of the research.

Because I'm not making comments about the actual research. And neither are you for that matter.

But I guess I have to take an anon at his/her word here even though he/she misses the point.

Appeal to authority... lol.

You made a comment regarding the milestone of the project, a project has researched attached to it. Do i really need to be explaining the basics to you? This project perhaps (i have not done a lot of digging on it myself) had the ultimate goal just to mimic that of a 13 year old kid, and if so then they achieved that. That was their goal and the research (remember that word) involved allowed them to succeed here. Hence their milestone is of importance.

I fail to see how. Computer programs do more complicated things already. You're just employing a cleaver parser, interpreter with a large dictionary. So what. I'm not impressed at all.

Oh shouldn't be a problem for you to beat their achievement considering it seems to be so easy. Go for it.
 
Apparently the judges on this "test" were all internal, only 33% of the audience was convinced, this was not a supercomputer, but a chat bot program, other chatbots have fared better in the past, and they had to lie about the bot (a 13yo Ukrainian) to get credibility from the users. The guy from Reading University who announced it has a history of sensationalist claims. This and a few other issues covered in the following article:

Does not seem credible then. 13 years of age and Ukrainian would mean the participants would not think too much of it when the bot didn't understand their questions and couldn't answer eloquently. If I remember correctly, Turing's idea involved the computer discussing poetry or a play with a participant, and rather in-depth as well.

So the Turing Test has still not been passed.
