A newly released study claims that OpenAI's GPT-4 has passed the Turing test, making it the first AI to do so.

Easy, just ask it something a human wouldn’t be able to do, like “Write an essay on The Cultural Significance of Ogham Stones in Early Medieval Ireland“ and watch it spit out an essay faster than any human reasonably could.

The touring test isn’t an arena where anything goes, most renditions have a strict set of rules on how questions must be asked and about what they can be about. Pretty sure the response times also have a fixed delay.

Scientists ain’t stupid. The touring test has been passed so many times news stopped covering it. (Till this click bait of course). The test has simply been made more difficult and cheat-proof as a result.

I recall a Turing test years ago where a human was voted as a robot because they tried that trick but the person happened to have a PhD in the subject.

Turing tests aren’t done in real time exactly to counter that issue, so the only thing you could judge would be “no human would bother to write all that”.

However, the correct answer to seem human, and one which probably would have been prompted to the AI anyway, is “lol no.”
It’s not about what the AI could do, it’s what it thinks is the correct answer to appear like a human.
