About early signs of a singularity and whether the Turing test was already passed.

Maybe you’re talking about a different variation of the Turing test than I am. I think any reasonable test is nowhere close to being solved.

The key part is that both the human and the AI are both trying to convince a properly trained judge they are human in a general open-ended conversation.

I know some variations have humans pretending they are computers or something which is completely backwards for a Turing Test.

An AI convinces a properly trained judge it is human in open-ended conversation while a real human competes to do the same.
