       Good news: AI will achieve human levels of intelligence next year!Bad news: This will not happen as a result of improvements to AI.

       @david_chisnall I've been saying since roughly 2020 that we've had machines passing the Turing test for a while already; it turns out the key advance was not improvements in machine intelligence but rather realizing that an average person is quite credulous and, furthermore, tends to trust systems when they present themselves as something

       @david_chisnall I thought (and still think!) that this is a genuinely useful and non-obvious observation, and I feel that the last five years have been proving that true in increasingly costly ways

       @whitequark It turns out that there is quite a punishing social cost to saying things like “an average person is quite credulous and tends to trust systems when they present themselves as something” in a workplace setting when the employer is “all in” on force-feeding everyone LLM Kool-Aid@david_chisnall

       @whitequarkI wrote an "AI" that could pass the Turing test when I was 17 (a long time ago): it just spouted abuse at you and acted like a traditional Internet troll. I called it "NoobAI". The Turing test is a test of how easy to fool humans are, not of robots at all!@david_chisnall
