Interesting. I am sure I was chatting with that bot a few years ago when I was into playing with things like that. It certainly was nothing special then so they must have improved it a lot.
Can it pass the Hodor test though....?

Having had several conversations with T.j, I found that there was still quite a lot of work to be be done before he would be able to convince anyone he was an intelligent human being.

Mind you, you have question the level of sentience involved when a being supports a team that wears Yellow! ;) :D

Also there's some difference between convincing someone that they're real and convincing someone that they're a 13 year old Ukranian(?) with English as a second language. What strange parameters. What next? Convincing 30% of the judges that they're a pan-sexual Martian that can only communicate in mime?

It's worse than that. After getting the chance to read a transcript I'm sure I'd be hard-pressed to believe that the program was a 13 year old Ukranian.

This test is less of computer intelligence and more of human gullibility.

Maybe it's not so much the AI is getting more intelligent, but humans are becoming less so. We're just going to meet in the middle somewhere...

This is what PZ meyers had to say about it in an article called `Media fails to pass the Turing test´.

I don’t get it — there are news reports everywhere credulously claiming that the Turing Test has been successfully passed, and they are all saying exactly the same thing: that over 30% of the judges couldn’t tell that a program called Eugene Goostman wasn’t a 13 year old boy from Odessa with limited language skills. We’re not hearing much about the judges, though: the most common thing to report is that one of them was "actor Robert Llewellyn, who played robot Kryten in the sci-fi comedy TV series Red Dwarf".

Instead of parroting press releases, it seems to me that the actual result should be reported as a minority of poorly qualified judges in a single media-driven event were trivially fooled by a clumsy chatbot with a background story to excuse its bad grammar and flighty behavior into thinking they were talking to a real person. It’s not so much a validation of the capabilities of an AI as it is an indictment of the superficiality of this test, as implemented.

Or, if an editor really wanted a short, punchy, sensationalist title, they have permission to steal mine.

We don’t yet have transcripts of the conversation, but the text of a 2012 test of the same program are available. They are painfully unimpressive.
