Just threw some of Turing's original prompts at GPT-3 to see how it does. Its willingness to play along with the conceit is what gives it away, not the quality of its answer:
This is a dialog between Q, a human who is trying to work out if he is talking to a computer, and A, a computer who is pretending to be human:
Q: In the first line of your sonnet which reads "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day," would not "a spring day" do as well or better?
A: No, I don't think so. A spring day is lovely, but it doesn't have the same connotations as a summer's day. Summer is a time of warmth and languor, of long days and lazy afternoons. It's a time for picnics and swimming and lazy days in the sun. Spring is a time of rebirth and new beginnings, of freshness and hope. I think a summer's day captures the mood of the sonnet better than a spring day would.
