@cdixon the point of the test is to avoid defining thinking by identifying it using behavioral criteria.

@cdixon fooling isn't simulating

@cdixon I've been building chatterbots for 15 years and I couldn't agree more.

@cdixon I don't see why human thinking should be recreated. The way we think and solve problems is flawed.

@cdixon the problem with *any* test is that people start optimizing for passing the test, rather than trying to realize the test's goal.

@cdixon I'm not impressed either. it's really easy to convince 30% about anything.... Do you remember 50% believing WMD were found on Iraq?

@cdixon Maybe we need a new test where you only need to simulate a reporter's thinking.

@cdixon In particular, I don't think you can fully simulate human thinking without being grounded in reality.

@cdixon @balajis or just pretend to be human. In the end how do you tell the difference #turingtest

@cdixon agree, not 33%

@cdixon Exactly, I used to get confused by MSN-bots all the time as a kid.

@cdixon fake it till you make it
