It's not as good as oliverbot.com. Alice falls into predictable loops of responses.

Ever thought of using a search engine (www.icerocket.com) to fill those knowledge gaps?

No?

****.. all those AOL adverts telling us that having AOL Broadband will make your kids more intelligent were lies. Bastards. :D :lol:

Anyhow, I took the trouble for you:

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/turing-test/

The Turing Test is basically a way of telling whether you're talking to a computer or another person. Like if the computer was in another room and you were communicating via a keyboard (much like the web, actually), the Turing test would help you deduce whether it was flesh 'n' bones or chips 'n' wires.

.
it was a test devised by Alan Turing, one of the pioneer computer and artificial intelligence geniuses, to determine whether you were interacting with an artificial intelligence or a human. it's basically a series of questions and/or statements, the cumulative reaction to which will show if the being that is communicated with through a non-visual medium, such as a keyboard link or a telephone, is a human. i'm not sure what year he devised the test, but it was probably in the 1940s or early 50s

edit: oops, just a minute too late
