Last I recall the Turing test winner pretended to be a non-native speaker with a developmental disability. It seems to me like the chatbot AI / Turing test entries are not following the spirit of the challenge at all anymore. They're all just going for cheap tricks like the original ELIZA did.

It was the Loebner Prize actually. Which is a much, much weaker test than the one Turing imagined in his original imitation game paper.
