A Chatbot (Supposedly) Beats the Turing Test

I don’t think so.

The Turing Test is supposed to be a test, that, if beaten, means that we have fully achieved “real” artificial intelligence. The chatbot named “Eugene Goostman” is not it! (In my humble opinion.) The chatbot has to be able to fool 30%, or more, of the human participants in the conversation. Supposedly, “Eugene” did that. Uh huh. Does it count if the humans are of below par intelligence, and can’t recognize a chatbot when they are typing back and forth?

See what Ray Kurzweil said when asked about the test:

You see what I mean.
