Turing Test, Computer Progress Towards Becoming "Human"

LiveScience reported that Cleverbot recently convinced 59% of the humans it interacted with that it was a human being by utilizing crowd sourcing to help it respond appropriately to questions posed by human interrogators.  This exercise is based on Alan Turing's hypothesis that eventually computer software would be created that could convince us humans that it was also human.  According to some, the fact that more than 50% thought it human suggests that Cleverbot may be more than clever - it may have, in fact, passed the Turing Test.

I decided I would interrogate Cleverbot to see how far it could get as an attorney.  I think it has some interesting responses, but if attorneys are worried that they will be replaced by it, I think all can breath a collective sigh of relief for the moment.
