    "Republican guards have secured the Turing test provided by Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy!"

    You: I think this is the wrong road to go down.
    Eliza: Can you elaborate on that?


    You: We should make computers better for people, but they should be made to actually think and reason.
    Eliza: Why do you mention computers?


    You: We have enough trouble doing this ourselves...
    Eliza: Please go on.


    You: if we have machines doing it they will surely out think us, and then what?

    Eliza: What answer would please you the most?

  3. The horror by lateralus · · Score: 5, Funny

    My paranoid mind is imagining that I'm the only human on /. and that all the other posts are automatically generated by Slashcode. Fortunately for me some of the trolls are too imaginative to have been produced by a machine.

  4. There are other ways to convince a judge... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    From this bot:

    User: DO YOU GIVE ORAL SEX?
    Iniaes: No, I don't.
    User: WHY DON'T YOU?
    Iniaes: That feature was turned off due to abuse.

    I think if the feature was turned back on, the bot might convince a judge or two. :)

  5. The /. test by binaryDigit · · Score: 5, Funny

    For any article posted does the user:

    1 - rushs to be FP
    2 - blames Microsoft (Microsoft related story or not)
    3 - sing the virtues of OSS over PS if the story is about a security flaw in PS.
    4 - sing the virtues of OSS over PS if the story is about a security flaw in OSS.
    5 - post contains "In Soviet Russia"
    6 - post contains "Imagine a beo..."
    7 - post contains Microsoft/Sony/MPAA/RIAA/DRM/DMCA is evil.

    If any of these are true, then the poster is definitely human. A computer would never be smart enough to show so much creativity and independant thought ;)

    For one, they will become so wired in to the network that they will immediately proceed to hunt you down as an obvious objector to their plans for global domination. Oh, and none of that 'there is no spoon' crap - that was patched last Friday.
