Just watching Google io and I swear the new Google Assistant just passed the Turing test?

The assistant called and made a haircut booking over the phone with a human and it seemed so human like!

Turing test is to determine between a machine and human right?

    Yes.
    But it's just a demo, we need to see how it performs in reality.

    If they passed the Turing test there would have been a lot of news about it for some time now... And they would start the I/O with "ohh, you know what? Our AI just beat Turing's test!!! PARTY!!!!"...

    As none of that happened, I call bull!

    Show me it working on a real world scenario (not staged or trained) and show me the decision graphs for that...

    Oh yeah. That is true. Will look more into it once it's released.

    @Hu-bot0x58 I agree that it's exciting... But what is really exciting to me is that Google Assistant data is doing what they wanted: get real data to tackle this problem...

    I've been following some of Google's research and the have been taking great strides at:
    - natural voice recognition and interpretation
    - natural speach contextualization
    - fluid conversation and context switching
    - natural conyextualized response creation

    What we saw at I/O was all of this working together... But is it ready? Is it robust? We need to see when/if it comes out
