I bet if you asked Alan Turing about Al, he'd say he prefers to be called Alan

Also Alan Turing if he were alive today: "We now have access to billions of times more computing power than I did, and the world uses it for what!?"
Edit: A major flaw with Turing's premise is that the test is not time-bound. At first blush, a conversation with an LLM is kind of miraculous compared to what we had before. But ample exposure to any LLM reveals its lack of intelligence; it just takes time.

I think he'd have been mostly pissed that acceptance of non-religious sexual morality was less than 15 years from when he died.

I guess it all depends on context. If somebody did a Turing Test about 10 years ago with GPT-5 level LLMs I guess it would have fooled practically everybody. Today everybody knows what modern LLMs are capable of so we would als different questions. For example "Let's play tic tac toe" ๐คฃ

Given that the framing of the Turing test was as a man pretending to be a woman, one wonders whether Turingโs pronouns today would still be he/him.
What do you even mean with "aren't real"?
replies:
Is there Alan Turing fan fiction, where he time travels towards better days?
If you can easily trip up AIs by asking certain questions. Do they really pass the Turing test?
