Here's another test I'd like to run in a few years: Record both conversations, without revealing which is human, and ask strangers which they would prefer to continue talking to.

Honestly, I dream up some pretty wildly incorrect stuff when taking a stab at solving unknown problems. There's something about the way LLMs are vaguely starting to do 'something that feels like this' that strikes a chord with me. Imagination and creativity in the face of the unknown is something I value.

Maybe I don't have to care if you're made of meat, or possess a 'real' mind? Not a question I ever expected to seriously ask myself.

Yes! The biggest existential risk to society is not that AI will wipe us down. It's that humans will stop finding each other interesting.

On that note I find it sad that AI has to pass the Turing test. As if the greatest possible achievement is to mimic a human mind.
