| - In computer science, a Turing Test is a computer's attempt to demonstrate human intelligence. It's a test of an AI's quality, usually by carrying through a conversation with a user by text-only chat. If the user can't reliably tell the difference between the AI and another user chatting the same way, the AI passes. At heart, the Turing Test is a machine attempting to prove it is a human. Comedic extensions of the test may include persuading the tester that the other test-ee is the AI, or that they themselves are the AI. Examples of Turing Test include:
- One of the main questions in AI, is "Are we there yet?". How can we test if computers are intelligent, and what does that mean anyway? In the 1950's Alan Turing devised such a test, called a Turing test. Its goal is to determine if a computer is intelligent. Basically a judge talks in a chat session to a computer and a human, and has to determine which is which. If they cannot, then the computer has passed the test (or perhaps the human has failed...).

| - One of the main questions in AI, is "Are we there yet?". How can we test if computers are intelligent, and what does that mean anyway? In the 1950's Alan Turing devised such a test, called a Turing test. Its goal is to determine if a computer is intelligent. Basically a judge talks in a chat session to a computer and a human, and has to determine which is which. If they cannot, then the computer has passed the test (or perhaps the human has failed...). At first glance it seems like a pretty stupid test, but if you consider a judge who is intelligent and understands AI, and a human who is also intelligent and answers the questions to the best of their knowledge, then it is actually a very good test. Of course if the judge is not so intelligent, or does not understand AI, or is more interesting in chatting then figuring out which is the computer, then it is a pretty easy test to pass, using a simple ELIZA chatter bot. Also if the human is dumb, or crazy, or a child, or doesn't speak the same language as the judge, the test is also easy to pass.
- In computer science, a Turing Test is a computer's attempt to demonstrate human intelligence. It's a test of an AI's quality, usually by carrying through a conversation with a user by text-only chat. If the user can't reliably tell the difference between the AI and another user chatting the same way, the AI passes. At heart, the Turing Test is a machine attempting to prove it is a human. Comedic extensions of the test may include persuading the tester that the other test-ee is the AI, or that they themselves are the AI. In the world of science fiction, this test becomes Serious Business for the machines involved. In worlds with Ridiculously-Human Robots and Artificial Humans, this test is useful for determining who is flesh and blood, and who is steel and silicon. The test relies on the inherent differences between an AI and a real human mind. It can involve asking questions only a human being would be able to answer, such as ruminating on matters of emotion and love. It might also involve resolving paradoxes and handling concepts other machines would be unable to compute. Conversely, it can also be used to determine if a given character is NOT human, either by failing the test, or by its inverse. For example, in works with a Robot War, the Turing Test is useful in keeping the evil robot army from infiltrating the base of La Résistance and killing all humans, or it can be used to fool said robot army into letting the meatbag walk in freely. A subtrope of Artificial Intelligence. This trope can appear at all ends of the Sliding Scale of Robot Intelligence, but tends to appear at the higher end, where the 'bots will be more human-like. Those who pass the Turing Test may have undergone Mechanical Evolution, or something as simple as being struck by lightning. Examples of Turing Test include:
