A thread of three Bluesky posts. Joseph Fink: It turns out this whole time that the Turing Test was the wrong way to think of it. Thinking a chatbot is alive is not a test of how good the chatbot is, but of your own ability to think of other human beings as real and complete people Greg Stolze: I heard some professor put googly eyes on a pencil and waved it at his class saying "HlI! I'm Tim the pencil! | love helping children with their homework but my favorite is drawing pictures!" Then, without warning, he snapped the pencil in half. 1/2 Greg Stolze: When half his college students gasped, he said "THAT'S where all this Al hype comes from. We're not good at programming consciousness. But we're GREAT at imagining non-concious things are people." 2/2
