Now, your run-of-the-mill LLM can breeze through the turing test.
Can they? You can ask arbitrary questions in the Turing test. I doubt many models would be able successfully imitate humans in such adversarial conditions. Note that the Turing test doesn't require to judge to be unsophisticated or unknowledgeable about AI's capabilities or weaknesses. I believe that AI's are closer than ever passing the Turing test, but I'm sceptical until I see it.
