For the entire span of my life, people have tried to develop AI systems and anticipated a day when those systems can pass the Turing Test.
Now that day has arrived, and no one seems to care about Turing Tests anymore. Why not?
Is it that
1) We're not actually there? It would take more than a few simple patches (google the answer to arithmetic questions!) on top of ChatGPT to pass a turing test?
2) Arriving there makes it clear that the Turing Test never was the right metric?
3) We're way to busy trying to figure out how LLMs are going to upend out lives to be worrying about something so academic?
4) The entire misinformation age has soured us on the idea of something like a Turing Test for ascertaining anything?
Something else?
5) Maybe we were presumptuous to suppose we're intelligent ourselves and that what we imagine to be intelligence is in its own way as shabby a trick as LLMs?
@pieist @ct_bergstrom hahaha fuck right off, this is the same trite bullshit as Sam Altman's "I am a stochastic parrot".
Wake me up when chatgpt will have produced anything as innovatively new as calculus, general relativity, cubism, microbiology... or even anything remotely new for that matter.
Please don't mistake your inability to come with nothing better than badly parroting a tech guru with the extent of what the human mind has been able to provably do for millenia
