I think there's only six judges. I don't think they're even trained. Not very convincing, imo. I'm pretty sure my mother could be convinced that Eliza is a human...

The test runs for only five minutes, too. That's it. Are we saying "This machine is indistinguishable from a human!" or are we saying "This machine can imitate a human for five minutes and fool 2 of 6 people!" ? I'm just not sure that's what Turing had in mind...
