- The Turing Test is a first person puzzler that challenges the meaning of human intuition. Take control of Ava Turing and take on tests designed that only a human could solve. In an evolving story based on mankind’s inherent need to explore, protect and survive; search deep into Europa’s core and transcend the line between man and machine. The Turing Test sparks your synapses into action in.
- All tests were performed using Mac OS X v10.3.6 on a G5, a G4 notebook, and an iBook. Tests were performed using LAN, wireless, and dial-up connections; wireless testing included unsecured.
It’s a quick and simple test that will bring your Mac’s CPU usage up to 100% so that your CPUs will show whether or not they can handle the load and your cooling fans will show whether or not they can keep the CPU cool enough. The only problem I see with such in-the-cloud-service is that it is locked to a certain version of Mac OS X. For the other OS'es we maintain VDisks of various versions of the same OS (e.g. Win7 and Win8) so that we can test on the platform where the user reports a problem.
ELIZA is an early program able to process natural language. ELIZA operated by processing users' responses to scripts. The most famous script was called DOCTOR. It was a simulation of a Rogerian psychotherapist. Eliza didn't know much about thought or emotion. However, DOCTOR sometimes provided conversation like a human. ELIZA was written at MIT by Joseph Weizenbaum between 1964 to 1966.
When the person used words that were not in the very small list,DOCTOR might say, for example, responding to 'My head hurts', 'Why do you say your head hurts?' The response to 'My mother hates me' might be 'Who else in your family hates you?' ELIZA was programmed using simple pattern matching techniques, but was taken seriously by several of its users, even after Weizenbaum explained to them how it worked. It was one of the first chatterbots in existence.
Implementations[changechange source]
- Using Java, and based very closely on Weizenbaum's published description of the program: http://www.chayden.net/eliza/Eliza.html
- Using z80 Assembly on the TI-83 Plus: ticalc.org
- Trans-Tex Software has released shareware versions for Classic Mac OS and Mac OS X: Trans-Tex Software

Video Introduction
Introduction given by Prof. Suilin Lavelle, in Week 3 of the University of Edinburgh's 'Introduction to Philosophy' (INTROPHIL) open online course.
Below are two short scenes from the movie Bladerunner, mentioned in Prof. Lavelle's video.
Version 1: Let's start with something very basic
Version 2: Let's randomize the program's prompts
The new code is highlighted.
In this version the program will pick up on the user responding 'No', or 'Never', and respond differently if this is the case. The highlighted lines show the addition of new code.

- To add memory to Eliza, we use the reflection, where the program recognizes answers of the form 'I xxxx you' (where xxxx is some verb), and responds with 'you xxxx me?', and takes this last sentence and adds it to the prompts list. This way, every so often, out of the blue, when the program does not recognize a family matter, or a reflection, or a negative comment, it will respond with 'You xxxx me?'
Mac Version
On a Mac, you can open a Terminal window and type commands of the form: say Hello there!, and the Mac will 'say' the sentence. In Python, on a Mac, you can run these commands using a simple statement, as illustrated in the code below:
Below is the version of Eliza where we modified the contents of the myprint() function so that it says the answers back.
