@GaryMarcus Wasn't it always (since Turing): "be able to deceive a human into thinking you are a human when you're really a machine."

Talk about an asinine goal.

Love it how AGI fans are pretending now that AGI has always meant “be as dumb as mediocre humans” rather “do the kinds of things smart humans can do”.

Some singularity that’s gonna be.

The statement is part of a conversation about the definition and goals of artificial general intelligence (AGI), which is a public issue related to technology and its implications for society. The tone is critical and dismissive of the Turing test as a measure of AGI.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not cause harm directly, but it dismisses the Turing test without providing constructive alternatives, which could be seen as a missed opportunity to promote understanding.
  2. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in criticism of the Turing test but does not attack individuals personally. It maintains a focus on the topic rather than on personal attributes. [+1]
