The "imitation game" that was Turing's model was a parlor game with a man and a woman behind a screen. The interlocutor could ask either of them any question. The winner was whoever convinced the questioner that they were the woman. The game was all about deception and tricky questions and no holds barred.
No, GPT-4 isn't remotely anywhere near being in the same ballpark as passing the Turing test.
- gregw2 3y agoYour simple clear explanation of this reminds me of a context where I have seen this sort of female imitation game used “in real life”, without any reference to Turing. In Minecraft, there are some girls-only servers. In order to join, you have to answer a series of (canned) multiple choice questions to get admitted. There were indeed some tricky questions. I was not able to get them right first time despite being male, a good test taker and married for a fair number of years. Not sure what the false positive rate was though. You can find videos of this stuff on YouTube.
