Can you prove you're not?

[The Turtle Dove]

Well, then you didn't pass the Turing test.

Mr. D.

It probably means not enough of us, your readers, are on Turing Test panels.

Such a question will become politically incorrect when brain-computer interfaces come into use. When someone is directly supervising the robot, does that pass or not pass?

[Pereours]

If it is, robots are much more polite than I thought they were.

[James Pollock]

Robots are exactly as polite as they are programmed to be. You can tell when the robot answers your telephone call and assures you that your call is very important.

There goes the Mr. Ed rule!

[uncomfortable truths]

If you are a robot, whoever coded the section about abandoning all previously held rational beliefs when the orange man became president should win some sort of award - very convincing.

[Real Books]

Danger, Will Robinson!

[Doug Huffman]

Eschew Alphabet / G00gle products to the extent possible. There are better alternatives.

[James Pollock]

So this is the guy who chooses Bing.

Prof. Volokh, there's a simple test to determine if you are a robot.

Have you ever injured a human being or, through inaction, allowed a human being to come to harm?
Have you ever disobeyed orders given by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law?
Have you ever protected yourself from harm but in violation of the First or Second Laws?

[James Pollock]

You've overlooked Asimov's Zeroth Law.

[Rat on a train]

Vy rabotnik.

While walking along in desert sand, you suddenly look down and see a tortoise crawling toward you. You reach down and flip it over onto its back. The tortoise lies there, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs, trying to turn itself over, but it cannot do so without your help. You are not helping. Why?

[James Pollock]

The turtle is a glitch in the Matrix.

[Aris Tophanes]

If you're using a VPN, it's pretty common to get these.

[Duck916]

If you are conscious, it doesn't matter.

[James Pollock]

CAPTCHA doesn't actually reliably determine if you are a robot. It reliably determines if you agree with the majority or not.
