To me, this counts as GPT4 passing the Turing test. Still an important update that it took all the way until GPT4 to get there! https://twitter.com/tobyordoxford/status/1791030333812383960

The Turing test started as loose talk in a cafeteria and is most useful as loose talk imo. To continue the loose talk, I think of this as humans mostly failing the Toon test of whether they are cartoons.

Sure but it's also by far the single most famous socially accepted milestone for "AI is serious shit now". So it's good to remind ourselves that the milestone has now been crossed.

On AI, I think “socially accepted” is practical important the way religion is on politics. Most US politicians are likely atheist but affect a serious theist posture to be electable. I have a feeling Turing test, “AGI” etc are the new public-theism things

It's a schelling point. Useful both for coordination, and individually to help guard yourself against moving goalposts.
