    Title:

    ChatGPT broke the Turing test

    Content:

    Other researchers agree that GPT-4 and other LLMs would probably now pass the popular conception of the Turing test. […]

    researchers […] reported that more than 1.5 million people had played their online game based on the Turing test. Players were assigned to chat for two minutes, either to another player or to an LLM-powered bot that the researchers had prompted to behave like a person. The players correctly identified bots just 60% of the time

    Complete contradiction. Trash Nature, it’s become only an extremely expensive gossip science magazine.

    PS: The Turing test involves comparing a bot with a human (not knowing which is which). So if more and more bots pass the test, this can be the result either of an increase in the bots’ Artificial Intelligence, or of an increase in humans’ Natural Stupidity.

      Also, the Turing Test isn’t some holy grail of AI. It’s just a thought experiment, and not even the highest test for an AI that we can think of. Passing it is impressive don’t get me wrong, but unlike what clickbait articles would tell you, it does not automatically mean an AI is sentient or is smarter than humans or anything like that. It means it passed the thought experiment, nothing more.

      Also also, ChatGPT was not the first AI to pass the Turing Test. Actually, plenty have, even over a decade before.
