Hah, I definitely know some robotic humans. Think I remember reading somewhere that 50% is about the best you can hope for, because that essentially means you're flipping a coin to determine your decision. You're not gonna get 100% in this test, right, because the point is to trick the audience. If everybody knows you're human, there's something wrong with, what, the other contenders, the test? That's why the 30 something percent standard is actually pretty impressive. As soon as you approach that 50% spot, you're getting into world domination territory. To be fair, the creators of this robot kind of fudged it a little bit by masking the robot as a 13 year old boy, which could explain all sorts of pointless thought processes, shitty grammar, etc. More of a psychological trick than a technical accomplishment. Maybe this is more of a sign that the test standards have to be further specified...
