The Turing Test is a test where a researcher chats with the computer, and if the researcher can't tell if he is talking with a computer or a person then the machine passes the test. The article has an example of the test; here is the part of the computer conversation that I want to highlight:
KW: What mysterious subjects?
Subject: Think deeply about mysterious dubjects.
KW: What's a dubject?
KW is administering the test. "Subject" is the computer.

Why was it so obvious? I think the first thing is that a real person who is trying to prove that he is a human will first make sure that he doesn't make obvious mistakes. Why? Because everyone is looking at what you type and you don't want to look like a fool. So I doubt that any mistakes made would be done in obvious places like the first letter of a word. A better choice would have been to misspell subjects as subects, or subjectc.
Also I think that a human would pay more attention to focus of the sentence, perhaps the computer should have misspelled the word "deeply" or 'about" instead.

I would think that having a computer make logical mistakes would be one of the simpler things for a programmer to figure out.
Those are my ideas on the dubject.

So are you the computer?
Hmm... speaking of misspellings... I believe that it is "Turing" not "Turning". Does that prove you are a computer or does that prove you are a real human?
Yeah, that is the problem with posts about spelling. I always make a nistake.
