Suggested by {{w|Alan Turing}}, the test involves a human examiner talking through a computer terminal to either a human or a computer — which it is, is not known to the examiner. If the machine/program's responses convince the examiner that &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;he/she is &lt;/del&gt;talking to a human, the machine/program is said to be passing the test. This comic suggests that extra credit should be awarded if the machine/program is capable of &amp;quot;counter-convincing&amp;quot; the examiner that &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;he&lt;/del&gt;'&lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;s &lt;/del&gt;actually a computer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class='diff-marker'&gt;+&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color:black; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;In brief, a {{w|Turing test}} is a test for assessing whether a machine/program demonstrates &amp;quot;intelligent&amp;quot; behaviour.

This is to deter an automated {{w|Optical character recognition|OCR}} (Optical Character Recognition) program from easily identifying the characters.
