I could! I could go to my Google Reader and rattle off fifty webcomics I follow. They're stored in my brain as comprehensive stories, so I can pretty easily call up interesting questions about them just by reading the titles. The archives of 50 webcomics would take an extremely long time for a human to trawl.

As a human who wanted to impersonate an AI I would:

  • Probably have a sufficient overlap in web-comic awareness as to make the test unreliable.
  • Have researched your information consumption extensively as part of the preparation.
