Distinguish between human and computer player study

We were discussing the difference between aritificial and human minds in class and I had an interesting idea for a study. Get a group of grandmasters and sit them in seperate rooms with a computer. Tell them that half of the games that they will be playing will be against a cutting-edge chess AI and the other half against another grandmaster. After each game, they have to write down whether they thought that they were playing against a computer or a human. I am interested in the playing differences between computers and humans.

Does anyone know if there has a been a study which tested whether grandmasters are able to detect human versus computer playing?

That's not bad! Go to the head of the psychology department and ask whoever that is, to give you some advice on writing a paper for funds for that experimentWink

A modified Turing test. Go for it. Where are you planning on finding the GMs?

It was completely hypothetical..I have neither the time nor the funds to find all the GMs and set everything up. Just putting it out there.

Now I'm upset because I really want too see the results but have no way of doing the experiment

i'm willing to bet the grandmaster can spot the comp every time.  i bet even i could, because i'm real good with engines.  i was on a computer buster team for years on a chess site.
