“Cel care, toata ziua
Este activ ca o albina,
E puternic ca un taur,
Munceste precum un cal,
Si care seara se-ntoarce rupt de oboseala precum un caine,
Ar trebui sa consulte un veterinar,
caci este foarte probabil sa fie un bou!” — Chang Ying Yue
(Coudn’t find this quote in English, help translating the original quote would be welcome.)
(I’m currently in holiday, but otherwise the quote applies very well to me.)

A test for artificial intelligence suggested by the mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing. The gist of it is that a computer can be considered intelligent when it can hold a sustained conversation with a computer scientist without him being able to distinguish that he is talking with a computer rather than a human being.
Some critics suggest this is unreasonably difficult since most human beings are incapable of holding a sustained conversation with a computer scientist.
After a moments thought they usually add that most computer scientists aren’t capable of distinguishing humans from computers anyway.
