Ghost in the machine

So on TV, there are often adverts for SMS, where you can chat to girls in your postcode/area/random etc.

There are never ones to chat to guys.

Makes me wonder if there's a Turing machine on the other end.

Well the only possible logical conclusion from me was that girls are so desperate for chat services they look them up in the phone book or online, and are sitting waiting to chat to guys. The guys, on the other hand, are so satisfied with their lives they have to be advertised to like anything to get them onto the services.

I wonder if the first machine to pass the Turing Test (not Turing machine) will mimic a male or a female?

That gives me an idea...
