The Turing Test poisoned the minds of generations of AI enthusiasts, because its criteria is producing text that persuades observers it was written by a human.
The result? Generative AI text products designed to "appear real" rather than produce accurate or ethical outputs.
It *should* be obvious why it's problematic to create a piece of software that excels at persuasion without concern for accuracy, honesty or ethics. But apparently it's not.
@intelwire Question: observing the addiction of many people to phones and the increasing dearth of human to human interaction, and increasing amount of forced human to chatbot interaction, how much are humans becoming more botlike? Rather than AI becoming more human?
