I used to play a MUD that had a chatbot on it for months in the late 1990s before the people running the game found out and kicked "him" off for violation of the no-bots rule. The chatbot used one specific group chat line and acted somewhat like the hypothetical video poster - mild verbal insults that weren't quite nasty enough to justify complaining to admin about, potty humor, "shut up [name]" and similar responses to questions, and other behaviors that were believably how a middle-school-aged player with trollish intentions might act.
Lowering the standard of the chatbot's expected conversational level by giving it the persona of a child or early adolescent speaking in different language than his/her first language does seem like a form of cheating while following the letter of the rules. At a minimum, I'd like to see the chatbot pass as an ordinary adult of at least average intelligence who is a native speaker of the language that the test is conducted in. A fellow professional in a given field would be even better.
The chatterbot "Eugene Goostman" has apparently passed the Turing test:
As I kind of predicted, the program passed the Turing test, but does not seem to have any trace of general intelligence. Is this a kind of weak p-zombie?
EDIT: The fact it was a publicity stunt, the fact that the judges were pretty terrible, does not change the fact that Turing's criteria were met. We now know that these criteria were insufficient, but that's because machines like this were able to meet them.
