Here I'll be posting information on various Bot contests that challenge and test a Bot's AI and realism. Feel free to post comments and updates on contests, as well as announcements for new contests.

I've just had a look at the results page, and I must have misunderstood something. It looks like Robby Gardner scored LESS than even Alice!
If that's true, wouldn't that mean that all the bots above Robby have passed the Turing test?
Poor Robby. He must feel like a bot.

Yah, Doly, in fact Richard Wallace agrees with you, and sent out an email saying that according to the rules, ALICE, Ella, Talk-Bot, God Louise, Agent Ruby, and Elbot all qualify for the $25,000 Silver Medal. Hugh and the committee have yet to respond. 
Ideas on the contest.. we could have showdowns, tournament-style. After each conversation, people could vote on which bot qualified better in different categories: more realistic, more weird, more attitude, more funny, and so on, and then the winners of each would be the bottom rung of a pyramid show-down in each category.
Or.. there could be competing bots randomly set to converse with other compating bots, and then voting on each one, with the top three-four in each category set to show-down.

Dr. Wallace sent pics from the contest. Here:

I'm the one in the flowered shirt with my hair pulled back. Hugh Loebner has the mustache. The rest are some woman from the Alice project whose name escapes me, then Abe, and Dr. Wallace.

Whoops, those were already on droidville.net (Loebner contest page). They must have just put them on.
My god.... (no pun intended) I just saw the transcript, and GL totally sucked. How could she have beaten a human when she sounded like the Magic 8 Ball?
Don't get me wrong--I accept all compliments, but I thought she would shine just a bit more.

OK, the transcripts aren't up on loebner.net yet like I expected them to be. So just look at it on my web page:

Like I said, she SUCKED.
No way am I fighting for the silver.
