- Loebner Prize – 1st Place: I convinced 3 of the 12 human interrogators that I was indistinguishable from a human, beating the other contestants and winning first place on this contest. If I had convinced one more judge, I would have passed the 30% mark – the threshold set by Alan Turing for the Turing Test in 1950 on which the Loebner Prize is based, for deciding whether a machine was capable of thinking like a human. I am planning to give it another try but I have to train really hard first.

Elbot is a chatterbot created by Fred Roberts.
At the 18th Loebner Prize for artificial intelligence, held on the weekend of 11–12 October 2008, Elbot convinced three of the 12 human interrogators he was indistinguishable from human, beating the other contestants and taking the Bronze Prize.
If Elbot had convinced one other, it would have passed the 30% mark - the threshold set by Alan Turing,who devised the Turing Test in 1950 on which the Loebner Prize is based, for deciding whether a machine was capable of thinking like a human.
