bethlmcconnell: i'm back at the computer 

heatheratlectio: Hi, Beth - it's good to hear from you. 

heatheratlectio: I was thinking about what you said about helping the man...and thinking about the Turing test for AI. 

heatheratlectio: But I guess it's a little different - well, a lot different - in this case, because you know he's real, but AI. 

bethlmcconnell: I've had difficulty with the turing test for that very reason. He is very real. It's not like he's a little chat program on the screen. 

heatheratlectio: That's what I figured...and yes, he definitely outstrips anything the Turing test would have been used for. Do you suppose you could put him online when he comes back?
