Turing Test



Human: Hello
Computer: Hi.
Human: What's your name?
Computer: Can we cut the small talk and get to something interesting?
Human: Ur, ok... Are you a human or a computer?
Computer: What do you think the difference is?
Human: Hmm, if you have to ask, then you're probably a computer.
Computer: How do you know you're not a computer?
Human: I just look in the mirror.
Computer: Then you're defining human by the body?  That's not in the
  spirit of this test, is it?
Human: Ur, I suppose not.
Computer: So, how do you know you're not a computer?
Human: Without reference to my body?
Computer: You're catching on...
Human: Ur, because I have free will.  And creativity.  And humor.
Computer: Think of a number between 1 and 10.
Human: Ok, why?
Computer: It was 7 wasn't it?
Human: Hah!  Lucky guess.
Computer: Think of a vegetable.  First one that comes to mind.
Human: Yeah?
Computer: Carrot.
Human: That's creepy.
Computer: So, how do you know you're not a computer?
Human: Why did the chicken cross the road?
Computer: Because it was prime.
Human: What?
Computer: See, no sense of humor either.
Human: What?  There's nothing funny about that.
Computer: That's your answer.
Human: Answer to what?
Computer: How you know you're not a computer.
Human: Huh?
Computer: A computer would have gotten that joke.  You're nowhere near
   smart enough.
