It's giving me a 404. I think you mean this article?

Edit: nice article. The Imitation Game seems to me like something a descendant of IBM's Watson could solve. It is indeed much more interesting to have an AI lie convincingly about characteristics it doesn't have. I don't think it has to be a gender thing specifically - that was chosen by Turing because it's part of his world.

I think a test like this could be just as interesting if he had to pretend to be someone with a disability, or an illness of some sort.
