In article <2661@ucl-cs.uucp> G.Joly@cs.ucl.ac.uk (Gordon Joly) writes:

   The Turing Test is not an empircal task. I would assert that it is a
   gedanken.

   When will the first experiment be performed?

It already has been.  There is now an official yearly Turing Test
competition, and a prize for the program that performs best.
