2 months agoThere are no specific questions defining a Turing test. It’s just generally “can the average person tell the difference between this bot and a real person?” It doesn’t go any deeper than that.
It’s also not actually some kind of “definitive” test of consciousness, the way it’s depicted in pop culture. Literally someone just asked Turing what a good way to test for machine consciousness might be, and this was the first thing that came to mind. It does not have any particular scientific significance. It just makes for splashy headlines because it’s a thing a lot of people have heard of.
Infinity to one, and lemmy is taking that shit way too seriously
