    Turing test? LMAO.

    I asked it simply to recommend me a supermarket in our next bigger city here.

    It came up with a name and it told a few of it’s qualities. Easy, I thought. Then I found out that the name does not exist. It was all made up.

    You could argue that humans lie, too. But only when they have a reason to lie.

      That’s not what LLMs are for. That’s like hammering a screw and being irritated it didn’t twist in nicely.

      The turing test is designed to see if an AI can pass for human in a conversation.

        turing test is designed to see if an AI can pass for human in a conversation.

        I’m pretty sure that I could ask a human that question in a normal conversation.

        The idea of the Turing test was to have a way of telling humans and computers apart. It is NOT meant for putting some kind of ‘certified’ badge on that computer, and …

        That’s not what LLMs are for.

        …and you can’t cry ‘foul’ if I decide to use a question for which your computer was not programmed :-)
