Try some AI tests
The original Turing Test involved a human interrogator using a
computer terminal, which was in turn connected to two additional,
and unseen, terminals. At one of the unseen terminals is a human;
at the other is a piece of computer software or hardware written
to act and respond as if it were human.
The interrogator would converse with both human and computer.
If, after a certain amount of time (Turing proposed five minutes,
but the exact amount of time is generally considered irrelevant),
the interrogator cannot decide which candidate is the machine and
which the human, the machine is said to be intelligent.
This test has been broadened over time, and generally a machine
is said to have passed the Turing Test if it can convince the interrogator
into believing it is human, without the need for a second, human,
candidate.
In response to the challenges of the Turing Test, many programmers
have designed software that responds to human conversation by asking
questions and other such tricks. Such software is often called an
Eliza-type program (after one of the earliest of these programs).
