  People were talking about the Turing Test as the criterion for whether a system was "thinking" up until the advent of LLMs, which was far less than 75 years ago.

    The whole point of Turing's paper was to show that the Test doesn't answer whether a computer thinks, because it's a meaningless metric, but instead shows what the computer can do, which is much more meaningful.

    I see this claim asserted frequently, but never with evidence. It doesn't match my personal perception.
