Can you show me an example of a Turing Test?

Historically, perhaps the first computer program that could be considered a Turing Test was a computer program called Eliza, written in the 1960's at MIT by Joseph Weizenbaum, (who, by the way, studied mathematics at Wayne State University--which is also my Alma Mater).

At one time, Weizenbaum remarked that he was amazed by how many people were fooled into thinking that they were talking with a real psychiatrist when they conversed with Eliza.

There were some great strides made in Aritificial Intelligence since the 1960's, and today there are several devices that communicate with humans using natural language (such as Siri, Alexa, or Google Home). Some even make claims that they can pass the Turing Test, such as an application being developed at Google that can make telephone calls for you.

Of course, none of the examples shown thus far on this webpage satisfies the definition of a Turing Test (or rather, the Imitation Game, as Turing called it) in exactly the same way as Alan Turing described it.

However, there are ongoing efforts to come up with a computer program that will successfully pass the Turing Test (or rather, the Imitation Game) in exactly the way Alan Turing described it. This is most evident in the annual Loebner Prize Competitions. Here, contestants submit computer programs that will compete against human opponents in trying to convince a human judge that it, and not the human, is the human.

No computer program has yet performed well enough at any Loebner Prize Competition to actually pass the Turing Test. Nevertheless, there are awards granted at these competitions for achievements such as the computer program judged to act most like a human and the human opponent judged to act most like a human.

There is also another test that some people call the Turing Test. It is one that I'm sure you were subjected to at least several times during your lifetime. In this test, it is the computer that is the interrogator and judge, and the computer is trying to determine whether you are human or a computer. The actual name for this test is captcha.
