Pop science indeed. Nothing new here. The Turing Test was the product of a much earlier era. Our machines today can easily fake a conversation, but there's been little progress in defining what intelligence is, let alone consciousness. Whatever they are, it's clear that LLMs don't have them, and aren't on track to produce them.
- spindump8930 1y agoFor many of us a better Turing test is contextual to a topic we CARE about. Lots of LLMs sound better than a randomly sampled human on a topic I don't know too much about (e.g. opinions on new movies). They're decent on engineering topics I only vaguely know about, but still below the bar (though getting better!) on topics I really care about.
