Science Squabbling

A computer program passes the Turing test if 30 percent of judges are fooled into believing that the other entity in a text conversation, with that program, is a human being.

So, yes, it passed the Turing test. Apologies if the definition is a bit rusty it is nearly fifteen years sine I wrote an essay about it in one of the final papers of my CompSci degree.

BTW, if that last bit brings Torpid Construct out of the woodwork I will be most annoyed.

I just think it was cheating by using the idea that someone who is 13 years old and not a native english speaker to mask signs of "chatbot-ish" behaviour in the programme. I'm not disputing your definition of the test, and I agree it has passed the test, but at the same time I disagree based on how it passed the test.
