The Turing Test (Score 2, Informative)

The Turing Test was developed by Alan Turing as one of his "free time endeavors." (I swear, that man had too much time on his hands.) Either way, the Turing Test has been the unsurpassed test for true AI and a human-wetware algorithm. The Turing Test dictates that only when a computer is fully capable of handling a conversation with a human, being able to respond to questions in logical, grammatically correct formats AND being able to learn new slangs and vocabularies - that is true AI (according to Turing). I think this CalTech game is about the same - it's not merely making a computer make mistakes and saying human-like taunts. It's truly.. being human. Those once-in-a-while lucky shots, beginner's luck, fresh leg advantages, the works. That's what they're looking for. Besides, it's CalTech. I think they deserve a little more credit than just merely modifying existing AI. =)
