About whether AI goalposts have moved since beating Go was thought to require general intelligence.

Is the Turing test "simply wrong"? Or do we need to further qualify it, as in "a GPT-3 chatbot is human-level only if it can fool any human for a long period of time, not if it can fool _some_ humans for a relatively short period of time"?

I think it's fair to say that the goalposts are moving (as they should).

An AI chatbot fools any human, not just some humans, over a long period of time.
