A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I think it's more about how we think about the Turning test and how we use it as a result-- a hammer does a pretty poor job of installing a screw, but does that mean the hammer was designed wrong?

Turing called this test an "imitation game" because that's exactly what it was-- the whole point of the test was to determine whether a system could give convincing enough responses that a human couldn't reliably identify whether they were speaking to a human or a machine. Cleverbot passed the Turing test countless times, but people don't ask it to solve their homework or copywrite for them.

From the wiki article on the Turing Test:

The test results would not depend on the machine's ability to give correct answers to questions, only on how closely its answers resembled those a human would give

My solipsism is leaking.

There are two alternative solutions to the Turing Test. The one here is when the Judges become dumb and can't differentiate between AI and humans. That is the one in the meme.

The other is when the humans become dumb and can only regurgitate memes that closely mimic how AI chat bots respond to human chatters. Even make a comment on a controversial topic, only for someone to argue with you, but not reference anything specific thing you said? I did and called them a bot as an insult. Then I checked their comment history and figured out it was a stolen account.
