The Turing test, originally called the imitation game by Alan Turing in 1950 is a test of a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human.
Practically this means that as Turing proposed human evaluator would judge natural language conversations between a human and a machine designed to generate human-like responses!
Now in his original concept Turing replaced the abstract question “Can machines think?” with a practical experiment:
The Participants were a human judge, a human respondent, and a machine!
All parties are in separate rooms and communicate only through text to remove physical bias.
The goal was that if the judge cannot reliably distinguish between the machine and the human after a series of questions, the machine is considered to have passed.
Even Turing predicted that by the year 2000, a machine could fool 30% of judges during a five-minute test!
By 2025, advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated the ability to pass versions of the test!
The GPT-4.5 in a research published in March 2025 convinced human judges it was a person 73% of the time, surpassing the success rate of actual human participants in the same study!
Modern AI can now simulate casual language, handle unexpected questions, and express believable opinions and humor!
The ability of AI to pass many such modern tests has rendered traditional bot-detection systems like CAPTCHAs increasingly obsolete, necessitating new multi-layered authentication methods in 2025!
Over the years there have been many computers who have defeated this test but as technology progresses the issue is that modern computers who have to pretend to be humans must actually reduce their intelligence and make mistakes to be identified as humans!
Yes! The machines are so fast and accurate that the bot at the other end knows that it is dealing with another bot! You cannot be very good also!
It is like how Karna did not cry of pain even when the scorpion was biting him which Parashuram understood immediately! Too good is sometimes really bad!
Since to err is human! Only when you make mistakes and struggle can you be human and successful!
Successful also was the series by Tarak Mehta which was both funny as well as family oriented!

Beat that AI!
Now time to sleep!
Shubh ratri!
