    The Turing test is interesting, because I believe that the current LLMs are perfectly capable of parsing the it in many situations. On the other hand we also have people are sound like they aren't real.

    Looking back, was the Turing test flawed perhaps? It failed to take into account that humans can be rather bad at telling actual people from a "parrot". Turing was perhaps a little to optimistic about people.

      Of course the Turing test was flawed. We already knew that based on the Chinese Room argument.

        The way you say that makes me unsure of which side of the Chinese room you're on.

            The joke would have been better IMO if you'd fed the words one at a time to Google Translate to Chinese :)
