Computer Passes Turing Test for the First Time!



That one get your attention?!  Thank Crystal-Wizard for this little dandy!   The computer, posing as a 13 year old boy named Eugene Goostman managed to fool a group of researchers.

So it is not AI going on here but some very clever library scripts and the like but still, there are huge implications.
