Passing the Turing Test properly requires a dialogue between the subject and the tester. There has to be a probing and response to questions that ultimately removes all doubt. The subject in this instance seems more mechanised publishing machine than verifiable human.

At risk of missing out on the awful spectacle, you should know that he is not difficult to avoid.
