Random thought: Could a computer program pass for human while commenting at slatestarcodex?

The "nonspecific praise" approach fooled me the first time I saw it, but it gets pretty obvious after a while.

Ditto the "extract declarative statements, act incredulous" approach.

Certainly a few commenters there easily pass for computers.

Why not? (1) You are not required to respond to other people's comments. (2) People generally don't suspect you of being a chatbot on a blog, so they will not test you explicitly.

So the chatbot could be designed to play safe, and reply only in situations it believes it understands.
