I think the link to CAPTCHA should be more prominent. I came to this article thinking that it was about CAPTCHAs. But I didn't see anything about them so I almost concluded nobody had written anything about them yet. Or am I the only person who thinks 'Reverse Turing test' when I see a CAPTCHA in a registration form (since I had never heard of the word CAPTCHA before)? —TylerRick

[edit] Computer success means human failure in Turing test

If a human being is judged to be a computer, then presumably the computer was judged to be the human, meaning the computer passed. So if the computer passed, the human failed. Am I missing something? - Keith D. Tyler (AMA) 21:23, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes. The Turing test (as currently performed) is rarely done on a 1:1 ratio as you described. So there is the possibility of multiple winners. -- trlkly 12:35, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
