turing was only human, too

two particularly choice excerpts from a recent darbnet discussion of artificial intelligence, which i found as amusing as they are sad-but-true...

Al Petterson:
"There are times, when I'm especially cynical, when I think most humans would fail a Turing test."

Seth Noble:
"That's the problem with a Turing test: while computers may have a limited capacity for intelligence, human beings have an infinite capacity for stupidity."
