       The Turing Test poisoned the minds of generations of AI enthusiasts, because its criteria is producing text that persuades observers it was written by a human.The result? Generative AI text products designed to "appear real" rather than produce accurate or ethical outputs.It *should* be obvious why it's problematic to create a piece of software that excels at persuasion without concern for accuracy, honesty or ethics. But apparently it's not.

       @intelwire tbh, I'm not sure I pass the Turing Test

       @intelwire “excels at persuasion without concern for accuracy, honesty or ethics”Almost as if it perfectly reflects the success criteria of its underlying socio-economic system or something.#capitalism #SiliconValley #BigTech #adtech #PeopleFarming

       @aral Yeah, there are no obvious profits in Artificial Morality; https://www.encyclopedia.com/science/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/artificial-morality@intelwire

       @intelwire machine ethics are only what we program into those models and silicon valley liberal's idea of ethics is to deliberately skew training data to suit a narrative.  even though neural networks are complex and seem like black boxes they are deterministic. garbage in garbage out

       Big shoutout to all the Turing fans out there (and there are many of you). I am not blaming Turing for any of this. I am commenting the modern assimilation of the broad concept as cultural product. You can stand down now.

       @intelwire Was that the point of the test? I’m confused.

       @intelwire @skry Why would they make it that way? Turing would not have approved.

       @skry @schoolingdiana @intelwire Turing's original paper is about how behavioural testing is useless in determining intelligence. He never said, "use this test to determine if machines are intelligent". He meant the opposite: don't even bother, since you can never know if it is real intelligence or something pretending to be intelligent.https://academic.oup.com/mind/article/LIX/236/433/986238
