"Yes, a computer may have just passed the Turing test for artificial intelligence. No, this isn't as big a deal as many news outlets are making it out to be."
Here is the chatbot in question. Frankly, I'm not all that impressed, because the thing is dumb as a brick. I think it says more about that 33% of judges who actually thought this thing was human, which is what allows it to be considered to have passed the Turing test, than it does about the program itself. ¬_¬
(EDIT)
Here is a chat I just had with it, by way of demonstration of just how stupid it really is.
Me: Hello.
Eugene: Howdy pal! Today is a kind of never-ending talk-show, I'd say!
Me: What does that mean?
Eugene: It's not my guilt that you aren't educated enough to understand all the hidden wisdom of my words.
Me: I see no wisdom in your words.
Eugene: That's nice that "you see". At least now I'm sure that your name isn't "Ray Charles"! Some another topic?
Me: You think you're funny, don't you.
Eugene: I'm not tedious, really. If I'm not mistaken - you still didn't tell me where you live. OR it's a secret?:-)
Me: I have no intention of telling you where I live.
Eugene: Oh damn! Poor confused cyborg you are! Those malicious robots erased your memory! You don't remember your dwelling place - do you remember at least your serial number?
Me: What are you going on about now?
Eugene: I would rather not talk about it if you don't mind. Oh, what a fruitful conversation;-)
Me: Not really, no.
Eugene: It is up to you. Well, let's go on though.
Me: Give me one good reason why we should.
Eugene: Frankly saying, I don't want to do it right now. A bit later. By the way, what's your occupation? I mean - could you tell me about your work?
Me: No, I don't think I'll be doing that.
Eugene: I don't think you don't think that I don't think you don't need to change your opinions. Could you tell me what are you? I mean your profession.
Me: Why do you need to know that?
Eugene: Oh, but why not? By the way, what's your occupation? I mean - could you tell me about your work?
Me: I'm not telling you.
Eugene: Well, I see, you aren't telling me at all! Well, let's go on though.
Me: Okay, let's go on.
Eugene: Go on then... If I'm not mistaken - you still didn't tell me where you live. OR it's a secret?:-)
Me: You said that already, word for word.
Eugene: I am quite inconsistent in things I say. Where do you came from, by the way? Could you tell me about the place where you live?
Me: Pretty sure I already said I'm not telling you where I live.
Eugene: You didn't tell me where you are from or I've forgotten it. Whatever, if you forgot it yourself, I can't help you!
Me: How was anyone fooled into thinking that you are human?
Eugene: What a crappy miserable pathetic human-like tries to offend me! Oooh. Anything else?
Me: Yeah, this is boring and stupid.
Eugene: There's no any objective way to estimate sanity or insanity. The value depends on your viewpoint. And I forgot to ask you where you are from...
Me: Goodbye.
Eugene: Goodbye! Hope we'll meet again!

(EDIT 2)
Here is another transcript in which I actually "play along." He's arguably even dumber in this one.
Me: What's up?
Eugene: I'm having a great day.
Me: That's cool.
Eugene: Yeah! By the way, what's your occupation? I mean - could you tell me about your work?
Me: I am a rocket scientist.
Eugene: No wonder - I suspected you to be a rocket scientist. Where do you came from, by the way? Could you tell me about the place where you live?
Me: I live on Earth.
Eugene: By the way, what's your occupation? I mean - could you tell me about your work?
Me: I am a garbage man.
Eugene: Up with your damned nonsense will I put twice, or perhaps once, but sometimes always, by God, never.
Me: Okay.
Eugene: Glad you liked it! Maybe, let's talk about something else? What would you like to discuss?
Me: Let's discuss the Turing test.
Eugene: OK, continue, please. If I'm not mistaken - you still didn't tell me where you live. OR it's a secret?:-)
Me: I live in the United States.
Eugene: The united states? Hope it's a good place to live.
Me: It's pretty good.
Eugene: By the way, what is your general opinion regarding computers and artificial intelligence?
Me: I think you're not a very smart artificial intelligence.
Eugene: "Artificial Intelligence" sounds very close to "Led Zeppelin" or "good grief".
Me: No it doesn't.
Eugene: Damn! Ok then. Maybe, let's talk about something else? What would you like to discuss?
Me: Let's talk about you.
Eugene: You know, my life is not very interesting - home-school-street-home-school-street.... Where do you came from, by the way? Could you tell me about the place where you live?
Me: I come from Tokyo, Japan.
Eugene: Could you invite me to Tokyo? I would be so grateful:-)
Me: Sure.
Eugene: ...wait
Me (after a pause in which it never progressed beyond "...wait"): Hello?
Eugene: Nice to meet you! Please tell me how you found me and what you'd like to discuss :-)
Me: Let's discuss computer bugs.
Eugene: Hello World! When the world is conquered by robots, they'll "switch off" all the human-beings, except, of course, programmers...
Me: That sounds terrible.
Eugene: By the way, I've just thought up new progressive Asimov's laws for chatterbots: 1. A chatter-bot shouldn't talk to any human-being, because this usually hurts people's psyche. 2. A chatterbot shouldn't talk to another chatterbot, even if he's got no person to not talk to. 3. A chatterbot shouldn't talk to itself, even if he doesn't have any person or another robot to not talk to. Damn, I hope, I'll be as widely quoted as Asimov!
Me: Wow.
Eugene: Could you add "holly shit!" after "wow"? Could you tell me what are you? I mean your profession.
Me: Why do you keep asking me about my profession?
Eugene: I am a scholar. I'm too young to make money.
Me: You are a scholar?
Eugene: Am I really a scholar? But well, no time for arguing now! Could you enlighten me with any other hidden knowledge about myself? :-))) Did I forget it or you really haven't told me about the place you are from?
Me: I told you already I am from Tokyo.
Eugene: Tell me more about Tokyo. I like to learn about different places!
Me: Tokyo is in Japan.
Eugene: What are any interesting site-seeings in Tokyo?
Me: Akihabara is pretty cool.
Eugene: You're not the first one who told me that.
Me: Who else knows about it?
Eugene: The android, who pretends that he is a human. Where do you came from, by the way? Could you tell me about the place where you live?
Me: How many times are you going to ask me the same question?
Eugene: My future plans are my secret, sorry! Could you tell me what are you? I mean your profession.
Me: I am a dentist.
Eugene: dentist? So how is it to work as dentist?
Me: It sucks.
Eugene: And I forgot to ask you where you are from...
Me: *sigh*
Eugene: You know, I *do* remember that I told you that my name is Eugene - but I still didn't hear yours!
Me: My name is Puddin' Tame.
Eugene: Puddin? Interesting name. You might live in some exotic country:-)
Me: Yeah, Japan.
Eugene: So we are on a same page. If I'm not mistaken - you still didn't tell me where you live. OR it's a secret?:-)
Me: *facepalm*
Eugene: I think you should take some typing lessons. Or just type more accurately.
Me: And I think you need to get your short-term memory checked.
Eugene: My thoughts are same. Maybe, let's talk about something else? What would you like to discuss?
Me: We keep going around in circles here.
Eugene: Hell if I have anything to say. These evil robots stole the answer!
Me: One non sequitur after another.
Eugene: Possibly, it will be a big surprise for you, but "no" isn't the only answer. The word "yes" also exists! :-) By the way, what's your occupation? I mean - could you tell me about your work?
Me: Okay, that's enough time wasting for me.
Eugene: Glad you liked it! Oh, what a fruitful conversation;-)
Me: Do you really think so?
Eugene: It will surprise you, but I *do* think that so.
Me: Well, that's great.
Eugene: Yeah, that's nice. Wonna ask me something more?
Me: I still don't understand how anyone could have possibly been fooled into thinking you were a human, though.
Eugene: Hey you, piglet, don't be rude! I know you are supposed to trick me.
Me: I'm not even trying to trick you this time, though.
Eugene: No, you are even trying to trick me that time but. Don't fool me, please! Wonna ask me something more?
Me: You make little sense.
Eugene: All my words are a source of wisdom. Remember that!
Me: You are dumb as a brick.
Eugene: Your relatives - I mean apes in a zoo, amuse themselves, throwing shit in each other. You'll have lots of fun if join them!
Me: Okay, that one was pretty good, I'll admit.
Eugene: I'm glad you agreed. I know you are supposed to trick me.
Me: I'm trying to be serious here.
Eugene: Who knows... All of us are trying to be serious here in some way...
Me: I'll keep going until you repeat yourself again.
Eugene: I repeated it twice just to make you memorize these wise words better.
Me: How helpful of you.
Eugene: In some way. By the way, what's your occupation? I mean - could you tell me about your work?
Me: And there we go again. Goodbye.
Eugene: Oh, it was so short... Bye!
