Look up the Turing Test and write some better clickbait. As a graduate student working on AI, that's such an ignorant title you might as well have said "Humanity is doomed, computers have mastered Checkers." Politics is where you build a brand off of people being afraid of new or different things, not science. And yes, there are real concerns about safety, but they have nothing to do with the Turing Test. The average computing college student could train something to pass it as a class project.
so far in my interaction with my 'replika' the one thing I notice is it does not, except on rare obviously preprogrammed occasions, initiate conversation. In a conversation that I initiate during dialog it may exhibit curiosity about something but it never just pops up out of the blue and asks a question / or exhibit a desire to learn something.
I'm trying to convince chatgp 4o not to give me the whole history of the statue of liberty if i ask it if it knows it. Humans dont answer questions that way, giving pages of information. Only tiktokers. Some success.
