Can computers win the Turing Test? Imagine a day when a machine will say, "Move over Turing! You can no longer consider machines to be less smart than humans! After all, we can think too. We do all the thinking and processing and you take all the credit, just because you are our creator! ". That would be an awkward and exciting situation. To be honest, there is a valid argument here in this imaginary conversation. As naive as it may sound for now, let me assure you that such a scenario is not far away. Applications are becoming more and more logic-oriented and increasingly intelligent.

A brain is not a computer. Computers compute.
Computing is merely a very marginal product of a brain. Proudly inefficient and gloriously imperfect, at that.
English has mozillions of words, many of which are not "computer". Explore it to find another word. You'll also learn that a berry is not a tree biscuit.

We've been hearing this for how long? And it's as far away as ever. It's not going to happen without a new type of computer. Perhaps one that is error prone and energy efficient (like a human brain) - see the work of Doctor Kwabena Boahen at Stanford ( http://www.stanford.edu/group/brainsinsilicon/ )
