    Haha, no. A five-minute conversation is not a meaningful demonstration of the core concept. This is the same technology that cheerfully tells people to eat rocks. It’s not even the newest and fanciest GPT. Everybody is aware of the failure cases for this approach. It does not take all that much interaction to separate an LLM from AGI.

    Remember, a buuunch of people have been using this thing, for a while now. It can do a lot of clever eerily clever and capable things. It can also read “a room with no elephants” and draw a room with seventeen elephants, because you said the word “elephants.”

    The real point of the Turing test is to highlight that interaction is the only way we discern intelligence in other humans. If you can keep probing and never tell the difference - then the machine is at least as intelligent as the meatbag behind door number two. But it doesn’t take much to fool people. Eliza is a relic and still had chins being stroked over PDP-11s “passing the Turing test.”

    You will know when an AI becomes AGI, because all of marketing’s stupid promises will actually work.
