I got a phishing spam pretending to be the USPS the other day. Had the logo and everything, grammar was good, but at the end it said something like “USPS wishes you good luck every day.” I know the fucking post office isn’t that benevolent! Especially under the present Postmaster General. Block and Report.
Found the bot.
Didn’t pass the Turing test?
I think the Turing test is flawed; eg. ChatGPT playing the part of a doctor is more likely to be empathetic than a real doctor.
The question isn’t whether computers can act like humans; the question is can we.
My problem with the Turing test is basically Goodhart’s law: “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure”
I’d answer that last question with a clear … no!
At least not in general.
