This is not that much better. The article that The Most Human Human is based on talks about the difficulty of communication in a 5-minute window, and the lack of knowledge lay judges have about what AI involves. The author consistently got named a human by better-applying the tactics of the some of the most successful bots: controlling conversation flow and using humor.

It's an improvement, but a winner would still win by "gaming" judges' psychology.

Where's that article? On the surface of it, that doesn't seem like a problem, necessarily. And a good active control doesn't have to be untrained; they could suggest questions to ask the computer, etc.

"Here's something I'll bet you the AI can't do: Ask it to tell you a story about it's favorite elementary-school teacher"

or whatever.
