I kind of remember the Turing Test was a big deal for some 70+ years.

We should have known that once we pass the Turing Test it would almost instantly become as passe as Deep Blue beating Kasparov on the road to general intelligence.

I am taking a break from my LLM subscriptions right now for the first time to gain some perspective and all I miss it for is as a code assistant. I would also miss it for learning another human language. It seems unsurprising that large language models use cases are with automated language. What is really surprising is how very limited the use cases for automated language seems to be.

Stanford researchers said that ChatGPT passes the Turing Test. Honestly I don't understand how, since it's pretty easy to tell that you're talking to it, but yeah I don't think it really matters.

Far more useful than simulating a person, OpenAI managed to index so much information and train their models to present it in a compact way, making ChatGPT better than Google search for some purposes. Also, code generation.
