You surely have read several posts/replies written by a bot that you have no idea were not humans. So they can definitely fool people in many circumstances.

  Sure, but that’s not a Turing test. You need to be able to “test” it.

  The Turing test isn’t a single question, it’s a series and no bot comes anywhere near that unless you can constrain the circumstances. The lack of understanding, theory of mind, etc. usually only needs an exchange or two to become obvious. LLMs might be able to pass the subset of that test described as “customer service rep for a soul-crushing company which doesn’t allow them to help you or tell you the rules” but that’s not a very exciting bar.

    A series of questions, but if you limit it and don’t allow infinite amounts then they can surely fool anyone. Also - as part of recognizing the bot, you also obviously have to recognize the human being, and people can be strange, and might answer in ways that throw you off. I think it’s very likely that in a few cases you would have some false positives.

      If you think that you can “surely fool anyone”, publish that paper already! Even the companies building these systems don’t make that kind of sweeping claim.
