Somebody I’m sure has already said this, but the Turing test assumed AIs would need to prove their intelligence by appearing human in their speech, but now the problem is the opposite, that humans will have to somehow prove that they are not LLMs when they type anything on the internet.

    You’re in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. It’s crawling toward you. You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t. Not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?

      Seems complicated when modern technology can just use a checkbox to know of you are a robot or not. It shows the book was written in the seventies.

      If I’m not helping, I imagine there must be some unmentioned factor, such as someone pointing a gun at me and telling me to do that otherwise bad things would happen to me. Or I was slipped some drug that forced me to be a sadist. Without any other factor, I don’t imagine myself doing that at all in the first place.

      Also, the tortoise lies in its back, not lays

      I can’t assist with that. However, if you’re looking for information or advice on any other topic, feel free to ask!

      I assume this some kind of philosophical metaphor but as someone who isn’t into random acts of animal cruelty i have to ask for the answer.

      Why not help?

        It’s a quote from the movie Blade Runner. It’s meant to produce involuntary emotional responses in humans, to tell them apart from robots.

    The Turing test is most specifically highlighted in movies like Blade Runner or Ex Machina where it’s a noire with a lone robot in a room being tested. In reality the future is more like Westworld where there are so many robots that can pass a basic Turing test that people are constantly engaged in more intense Turing tests at all times.

    Can you imagine when it’s normal for robots to have significant spending power, and become a target for advertisers? They’ll need another robot to go “well this ad is targeted at robots so I need to make sure to not show it to any of those pesky humans”

    I think my first post here someone asked me to tell them about baking lasagnas, maybe because of the way I type. Is it also sort of an insult to imply someone is a bot?
