The Day I Failed the Turing Test
Firstly, this guy actually failed the Turing Test.
In my defense, I had followed someone on DeviantArt who had a similar handle, so I thought this person might have had a legitimate reason for contacting me. Also there were reasonable time and [Typing...] breaks between statements.
(12:10:04 PM) eccelecrimat: hey.
(12:10:20 PM) Arctic - AIM: Hello
(12:10:32 PM) eccelecrimat: hmm i cant remember.. have we talked before? im ashley 24/f //Who introduces himself as "ashley 24/f"? Maybe the type who has his IM handle readily available on DeviantArt? Whatever.
(12:10:53 PM) Arctic - AIM: Don't think so; I think I might've thought you were someone else
(12:11:05 PM) eccelecrimat: oh ok.. well what are you up to?
(12:11:10 PM) Arctic - AIM: Not a lot
(12:11:23 PM) eccelecrimat: fun fun... im so bored
(12:11:31 PM) Arctic - AIM: Alas, such is life
(12:11:35 PM) eccelecrimat: i didnt have any classes today which is great but kinda boring //In college at 24? Why? For what? Should I ask? Would that be creepy?
(12:12:23 PM) Arctic - AIM: There has to be something to do around
(12:12:30 PM) Arctic - AIM: Well, IMing me is something, I suppose
(12:12:36 PM) eccelecrimat: well since im not doing anything im about to get on my webcam
(12:12:48 PM) eccelecrimat: you should come see me. and if your nice i might give you a show :-x
(12:12:56 PM) Arctic - AIM: I think I'll pass, actually
(12:13:08 PM) eccelecrimat: how does that sound are you interested? please please please
(12:13:36 PM) Arctic - AIM: Er. Not really. //I was suspicious, but not convinced
(12:13:48 PM) eccelecrimat: YAYY!!! your awesome. mk babe //...Ah.
(12:14:00 PM) eccelecrimat: one second let me turn on my cam
(12:14:02 PM) Arctic - AIM: I don't mean to sound like your mother, but perhaps there are more edifying things you could be doing with your time.
(12:14:08 PM) Arctic - AIM: Um. Nothx.
(12:14:14 PM) eccelecrimat: mk. i have my cam linked to this website so i cant be recorded
(12:14:26 PM) eccelecrimat: i dont wont to be on the next 'girls gone wild' video. lol
(12:14:55 PM) Arctic - AIM: ...I think you just passed the Turing test.
(12:15:07 PM) eccelecrimat: its simple though. just go here [REDACTED]
(12:15:19 PM) eccelecrimat: my cam will load for like 1 minute then it goes away cause you have to sign up k?
(12:15:31 PM) Arctic - AIM: ...Right.
(12:15:43 PM) eccelecrimat: the sign up is really simple though you just click the gold 'JOIN FREE' button at the top of the page
(12:15:47 PM) Arctic - AIM: Yep
(12:15:55 PM) eccelecrimat: then fill out the little form AND it asks for a credit card BUT it dosent cost anything its just to verify your age
(12:16:01 PM) Arctic - AIM: Of course.
(12:16:13 PM) eccelecrimat: after your done then you can watch me all you want to
(12:16:17 PM) Arctic - AIM: Assuredly
(12:16:25 PM) eccelecrimat: dont forget be nice and ill make this show very interesting :-X
(12:16:48 PM) Arctic - AIM: I'll bet
(12:17:00 PM) eccelecrimat: k babe ima minimize aim and talk on the cam site k?
(12:17:06 PM) Arctic - AIM: Have at
(12:17:18 PM) eccelecrimat: k we can talk there its much better.
(12:17:22 PM) Arctic - AIM: Right
It seemed to be responding to my responses--one from me would lead to the next from it--but it didn't parse my statements at all. It just went through the script. It stopped responding after the last message.
One has to wonder--are there productive uses for controlled-environment computer-generated conversation? Tech support comes to mind, but I have never found an effective one. I have found some that are clearly computers, and some that respond in necessarily-human ways, but that's about it.
At any rate. Perhaps I am just kind of thick today, but I was impressed.
I sort of want to see if I can write a convincing Internet teen and send it forth upon Omegle.
