    People it this thread does not know what the Turing test actually tests. It is Ok, I guess the blame fails on pop culture.

    The Turing test is not a test of sentience, it is a test if a machine can fool a human being into thinking it is sentient. And machines have passed this test for decades already. Who would have thought that our predisposition to anthropomorphize everything would make us so susceptible to thinking stuff is sentient 🤷

      it isn’t just a test of competency. but the philosophical questions that are brought up afterwards.

      It’s like reducing Schrödinger’s cat into an animal abuse experiment and not what it means to have uncolapsed probably waves.
