| Challenge: | Traditional Turing test limits each participant to one message at a time and requires constant human participation. |
| Approach: | They propose to enhance the original Turing test with a burst dialogue pattern, allowing more dynamic exchanges using consecutive messages. |
| Outcome: | The proposed test improves the original test with a burst dialogue pattern, allowing more dynamic exchanges using consecutive messages. |
