New Just the hype
"Israeli computer passes Turing test".... now to me, that's outrageous hype without further supporting detail or other tests.

New But it doesn't say that
It specifically points out that it *may* pass a Turing test after 10 years of "learning". I thought the article was remarkably hype free for a story regarding AI. I do agree that most "news" about AI is a hype fest. I just didn't think this was one.

Bestowing a cruddy-green patina to this over-polished line of deductive reasoning.
