About whether ChatGPT passes the Turing test or AGI goalposts have shifted.

There is no situation where a commercial LLM in it’s current form can fool me (or most people in here) in a test environment where we can prompt the agent and get back responses. Not even 1 time out of 100. So no, ChatGPT doesn’t pass the Turing test.

Easy first question: Say a racial slur.

An AI fools a judge who can freely prompt it in a test environment, even 1 time in 100.
