The contest would also seem silly to me were it not for the fact that I am content to view it with a narrower focus. A computer cannot effectively mimick human characteristics inasmuch as it cannot mimick them all. It can, however, mimick a given subset of human characteristics (i.e., the ones effectively programmed into it). And then, the more interesting material will probably be secondary to its shortcomings anyway.
