Turing Test

The Turing test is a test where a judge has a conversation with a person and a computer and has to figure out which is which. The computer tries to trick the judge into thinking he is human. When this happens this would be an incredible accomplishment but also very scary. For a computer to be able to fool a human would be incredible. To some this may seem like a thought that is so out there, but with the accomplishments tht we have already had, why would one not believe that this could happen in the near future. Although I do not believe in the whole singularity thing, I do believe that the Turing Test will be passed around the year 2020.
