I disagree, now that I think about it.  I remember Lisa, and I know there have 
been great advances in AI (e.g., neural networks, ...)

What a stroke of genius by the programmer -- they give "Gene" this amazing 
backstory and history, and then intentionally have him inject portions of the 
(back)stories in his emails to make him seem like a cantankerous old man.

Then he posts problems on the list that no real computer intelligence would 
experience, just as part of the experiment to see how many and for how long he 
can fool people on this list.

How could we doubt that he is human?

I wonder when the big reveal will occur?
