I feel like if any program does nearly that well, the judges aren't cheating enough. They should be picking things they know the computer is bad at. Like drawing something with ascii art, and asking what it is, or having it talk to a bot and seeing if the conversation goes anywhere.

If all you do is talk, then all it shows is that the computer is good at running a conversation. Maybe that just was never something that took a lot of intelligence in the first place.
