Every few months I run a Voight-Kampff test on the current (free) #AI image generators, and they continually fail at knowing what a tortoise on its back looks like, so humanity is safe from the androids so far. I mean, you know what a turtle is? It's like that.

I wasn't sure what a Voight-Kampff test is so have tried to look it up, took a while as one site had a security issue, wikipedia seems to explain as part of a bladerunner article.

I am guessing this is a test to determine if a person is a human or not, how does this differ from a Turing test?

This still seems to be bladerunner related.

@zleap the difference versus a Turing test is that in the Blade Runner world, the "androids" are designed without the ability to have human feelings, and the Voight-Kamff test is designed to test emotional response. So, basically they can pass a Turing test - they can have a normal human conversation - but if you check things like pupil dilation and heart rate when asking them an emotional question you can tell they're not human.

@zleap I should add, I'm not really doing a Voight-Kamff test - one of the question in the movie is that you see a tortoise on the ground in the desert and you flip it on its back, and while it struggles to get upright you don't help, why aren't you helping? The android responds very confused about the question - what's a tortoise? Why am I in the desert? - which is why it's funny when I start the same question modern AI is just as confused.

I wonder what it would make of the limerick data tried to repeat in Star Trek TNG, I think it was the episode the naked now, or the naked time, one of them was TOS the other was TNG

I think he got as far as

There was a lady from Venus, whos head was the same of a ....

at which point I think Picard stopped him, data being an android was confused by the meaning.
