I just thought there might be some geeks who appreciate this apparent milestone.
livescience.com - Open AI gpt is the first AI model to pass an authentic turing test scientists say

I don't think many people think current large language models are intelligent beings, but one of them has just passed the most strict version of the Turing Test (the "imitation game", exactly as Mr Turing described it). Not only was the program able to convince some humans it was a human, but in test where a human was interviewing both a human and the bot to pick which was which, substantially more than half of the subjects thought the bot was the human. More human-seeming than the human, it seems.

The only weakness in the test that I can see is that it was limited to five minutes, median 4.2 minutes. Mind you, apparently Mr Turning said that by the year 2000, computers might perform well enough that an average interrogator would have "no more than 70 percent chance of making the right identification after five minutes of questioning". It took 75 years instead of 50, but on the other hand the computer fooled the interrogator 73% of the time instead of just 30%.

The really interesting question raised: If it quacks like a duck, is it a duck? If something behaves convincingly like a thinking being, is it one?
