The program that won the respected Turing Test Award for convincing a panel of experts it was human comes to Windows in a new and more powerful version. Developed originally by Dr. Joseph Weisenbaum, this program talks to you like a therapist and actually learns as you converse. Use it when you have writer's block or have trouble sorting through personal or business problems. Type in 50 or 100 factual sentences on a subject and the program becomes a teacher. Also great party fun! The Program That Convinced A Panel Of Judges It Was Human "I thought the whimsical program was a human because I was at ease with it and it made me laugh," said one of the judges, 22-year-old Martha Gruppe. -The Wall Street Journal PC Therapist convinced people they were talking with another human being when they were really talking to a computer. John Markoff reported in The New York Times on the results of the noted Loebner Award contest: "...human judges chosen to represent the Boston man-in-the-street engaged in a three-hour battle of wits with a handful of computer programs today. The idea was to answer what many scientists believe will become the central question of the information age: can machines think?" The tournament was a simple way of cutting through the philosophical debate about whether a machine could ever be built to mimic the human mind. If a person communicating with such a machine could not tell whether it was a computer or human, the question would be resolved.
