I don't know how anybody was fooled that elbot was a human in the recent Turing test competition.

Try asking him things like "Why is the dog under the table chewing its leg?" Or "What did Shakespeare say about napping canines?". Elbot is nothing more than Eliza (1966) with a pretty face and a few more strings.
