George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
People had a hard time believing that George was a real pirate.
Even at the Loebner Prize competition, where programmers build intelligent systems to beat the Turing Test, George still had a hard time.
“I’m sitting right in front of you!” screamed George at the judges. “I’m a freaking pirate! PirateBot 3000 and AutoPirate are computers!”
The competition’s judges conferred. “No self-respecting pirate would act in that manner,” they said, making marks on their clipboards.
In a huff, George went home.
CaptainBot 3000 told him to swab the deck.
