GPT-3 does not pass the Turing test.
The Turing test is not about making a person think they're talking to another person while, in fact, they are talking to a machine. The reason is that such a result may depend on the expectations people have of machines' capabilities. Rather, the Turing test, in the "standard" interpretation (rather than Turing's original formulation) has an interrogator interviewing two subjects via text messages, knowing that one of them is a machine and the other a human, trying to distinguish which is which. The machine passes the test if it can trick interviewers sufficiently often.
- SAI_Peregrinus 6y agoThis is a very important distinction. The Turing Test can be passed only by something that is indistinguishable from a conscious, thinking being.

- pron 6y ago> Goalposts: moved! No, the original formulation is just a little unclear and some interpret it as an even more elaborate test, involving yet another stage. Most versions of the test include at least three participants [1]. Many people forget the details and remember just that it's about recognising a machine through text communication.
