"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I was looking into the Alan Turing and his Turing test as he proposed and reading some books. I feel skeptical regarding the fact that we have even reached at the level of Artificial Intelligence. It feels like we have not created a Turing machine yet.

To add a bit to this: I don't see a reason to stay "skeptical" about this. It's an experiment. And it's not even hard to set it up. You can just try and learn the answer to it.

It's a bit tricky since some details are vague and there's some variations of it. It's more a party game than written down with mathematical precision, like other texts from Turing.

What I'd be sceptical of, is the implications of it. And claims from big companies who have a vested interest in promoting their products. It's not really influential science until it's been replicated by other (independant) researchers and been peer-reviewed.
