    Where are you from?

    Oh, you're Ukrainian. How do you feel about Crimea joining Russia?

    If you're Ukrainian you must have a view on the legitimacy of the referendum though?

    > I'm just a boy from Ukraine. Actually, I am Jew, if you are interested.

    You're Jewish?

    > I'm Ukrainian. At least, I was born and live in Ukraine. My nationality is Jew.

Not TOO worried about a Skynet-style geopolitical intervention by machines just yet, anyways.

Funny :)

> for what purpose do you exist?

And you? I suspect you exist too! By the way, I still don't know your specialty - or, possibly, I've missed it?

> I'm asking you, for what purpose do you exist?

You sound nice, but errr... loopy a bit:-) Some another topic?

> You didn't understand my question, really.

Oh, something tells me that you're trying to con me! Well, let's go on though.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You can't really subject something to the Turing test when you already know that it's an AI.

Why not?

Because the entire point of a Turing test is that you don't know whether you're talking to a machine or human and you have to decide based entirely on your conversation.

This version replies instantly and doesn't make spelling mistakes. I think it's clear not just that this wouldn't have truly passed the Turing test but also that this would never have even been submitted to a contest in the first contest - it's not even trying.

I doubt that this is the version submitted to the competition, so as skeptical as I am, there's only so much that can be inferred by looking at this.
