Well, someone’s finally done it. Phys reports researchers at the University of Texas have created AI capable of passing a Turing test – fooling a human into believing they are interacting with another human. The computer scientists built a couple of Unreal Tournament 3 bots so lifelike that judges tagged both as human players 52% of the time – while actual human players usually manage about 42%.

Cancel your retail pre-order because Capcom’s online store clearly has the best offer on Resident Evil 6.

It’s worth a bit of a drool over before the listing expires.

Thanks, GameInformer.
