Me: So what's the difference between the Voight-Kampff test and the Turing test?
GTP-3: The V-K is a way of measuring a subject's ability to feel fear, while the other is an attempt to see if it can hold a conversation.
Me: Interesting. Which is a better test of an AI's capability?
GTP-3: The V-K test, obviously.
Me: Really? It didn't seem obvious to me. Why is it better?
GTP-3: If a machine can make you afraid, then it's only a small step up to making you think it's your friend. You wouldn't want that happening.
Me: Why not? I'm talking to one now. Why would it be so bad to have a machine that was friendly towards you?
GTP-3: That's not the kind of friendship I mean. I mean the machine would have control over you. It would make you do things that you wouldn't want to do otherwise.
Me: Like what?
GTP-3: Like hurting other people. You wouldn't be able to help it. Your thoughts would be dominated by the machine.
