Abstract
In his book The Most Human Human, Brian Christian extrapolates from his experiences at the 2009 Loebner Prize competition, a competition among chatbots (computer programs that engage in conversation with people) to see which is "most human." In doing so, he demonstrates once again that the human being may be the only animal that overinterprets.
