This article describes the annual Turing Test, which challenges human judges to identify whether IM conversations they are having are with a computer or a live human. Teams submit AI machines with the goal of winning "Most Human Computer," and the author is one of four humans who compete against them (and one of which is named "Most Human Human"). This is a fun story that also pushes you to think about humans, technology, and our overall sense of self.
