Ramona: Check back later and see if I
learned the answer to that one.
Art: Heads up! Don’t play the stupid
card now!

Eugene: Okay, okay. I’ll keep my eyes
open. I miss my mother.
Ramona: I wish I played an instrument.
My parents couldn’t afford the lessons.
Art: Bullshit. You just wanted the lesson
to end.
Eugene: My mother told me, one
shouldn’t say bullshit.

Editor’s note:

On June 6, 2014, the chatbot, Eugene
Goostman, passed the Turing Test according to the procedures outlined by the
University of Reading. There are
objections to this outcome. N00Bsociety
will hold a contest in SL for Avatars to
see if they can pass the Turing Test, using
the framework set up by Raymond
Kurzweil, author of The Singularity is
Near. Volunteers are kindly invited to
contact n00b01 Resident. Art Blue noted
on his transmission “UUID: dfee836f7db1-4bb2-8d36-f9a020b2185 9 ‘Eugene
Goostman´ will be present.”

Eugene: I need to go to the toilet.
Ramona: Hi [growls]. Alright, I’ll let you
finish and won’t interrupt you.
