Reported on the BBC's news web site:
Scientists at the University of Reading tested five machines to see if they could pass themselves off as humans in text-based conversations with people.
The test was devised in 1950 by British Mathematician Alan Turing, who said that if a machine was indistinguishable from a human, then it was "thinking".

The Turing test is flawed - it doesn't prove whether a computer is thinking, only that it's programming is sophisticated enough to fool a human.
