    At least 1/3rd of these predictions aren't clear enough to determine exactly what is being claimed/predicted. Even after reading the full comment multiple times, on a lot of them I couldn't tell where the author had set the goalposts well enough to say whether we've crossed it or not.

      Yes. One of my comments is in there [0] and is basically:

      "AI still hasn't passed a proper Turing test. A proper Turing test is 1 hour or more. Has any AI passed it?"

      How do you answer that? "'Yes', AI has NOT passed a proper Turing test", or "'Yes', AI has passed a proper Turing test".

      My comment doesn't actually make any prediction to judge, it's just an observation and an argument.

        A problem with turing tests is that people now recognize the Ideolects of several of the major models, so now it&#x27;s like &quot;Ah, you&#x27;re a load bearing Claude&quot; (though several other models and humans now talk like that too, which is something I need to sit with :-P )
