    That’s not what LLMs are for. That’s like hammering a screw and being irritated it didn’t twist in nicely.

    The turing test is designed to see if an AI can pass for human in a conversation.

      turing test is designed to see if an AI can pass for human in a conversation.

      I’m pretty sure that I could ask a human that question in a normal conversation.

      The idea of the Turing test was to have a way of telling humans and computers apart. It is NOT meant for putting some kind of ‘certified’ badge on that computer, and …

      That’s not what LLMs are for.

      …and you can’t cry ‘foul’ if I decide to use a question for which your computer was not programmed :-)

        In a normal conversation sure.

        In this kind Turing tests you may be disqualified as a jury for asking that question.

        Good science demands controlled areas and defined goals. Everyone can organize a homebrew touring tests but there also real proper ones with fixed response times, lengths.

        Some touring tests may even have a human pick the best of 5 to provide to the jury. There are so many possible variations depending on test criteria.

          You want to read again about the scientific basics of the Turing test (hint: it is not a tennis match)
