We can argue about it's nuances. same with the Chinese room thought experiment.

However, we can't deny that it the Turing test, is no longer a thought exercise but a real test that can be passed under parameters most people would consider fair.

I thought a computer passing the Turing test would have more fanfare, about the morality if that problem, because the usual conclusion of that thought experiment was "if you cant tell the difference, is there one?", but now it has become "Shove it everywhere!!!".

Time for a Turing 2.0?

If you spend a lifetime with a bot wife and were unable to tell that she was AI, is there a difference?

it was also meant as a philosophical test, but also, a practical one, because now. I have absolutely no way to know if you are a human or not.

But it did pass it, and it raised the bar. but they are still useless at any generative task
