[ExI] Off Topic: Turing Test -- ai class at stanford

[G. Livick]

The Turing Test only described a means for measuring how well a computer 
dedicated to that specific task could "imitate" human verbal 
communication.  Caution in tossing around buzz words and buzz phrases 
without first researching their true meaning and accuracy is not 
infrequently advisable.
