    I think Y is the bot. Y instantly locks onto a target through floors and walls before even seeing the target. And once Y is done with one target he locks onto another.

    X moves his aim around in a slower more deliberate way as if looking around the screen at his surroundings, not locked to a target.

    I got 37 seconds in and realized I didn't care. No matter how interesting I thought the concept was.

    Is there a contest on which human can act the most like a computer?

    (It could be judged by bots)

    @twophrasebark: No but we'd better start practicing for when the robots rise up and take over because then when you can't act like a computer you will be terminated.

    Like the original Turing test, this doesn't really prove much. The scope of its intelligence is still limited to highly constrained tasks (shooting and dodging) in a highly constrained environment where all the variables are known.

    O_o
    I'm sorry, but thats just a scary thing to say.
    Do you mean, if I showed you an AI that you could chat with freely and not tell the difference between it and a human, you still wouldnt consider it alive?

    "chatting" is in NO way a highly constrained task.
    Communication from sentient-being to sentient being is probably one of the most open, complex and least-constrained tasks possible.

    Programing AI to wonder around and shout insults, by comparison, is nothing.

    What's the answer? Y is the bot, I assume.

    @twophrasebark: I would think so as well. I only watched part of it, but Y got stuck on a wall, which kind of gives it away.
