Comment on AI models routinely lie when honesty conflicts with their goals
wischi@programming.dev 1 week agoTo be fair the Turing test is a moving goal post, because if you know that such systems exist you’d probe them differently. I’m pretty sure that even the first public GPT release would have fooled Alan Turing personally, so I think it’s fair to say that this systems passed the test at least since that point.

But that’s kind of the point of the Turing test: a true AI with human level intelligence distinguishes itself by not being susceptible to probing or tricking it

But by that definition passing the Turing test might be the same as super human intelligence. There are things that humans can do, but computers can’t. But there is nothing a computer can do but still be slower than humans. That’s actually because our biological brains are insanely slow compared to computers. So once a computer is better or as accurate as a human it’s almost instantly superhuman at that task because of its speed. So if we have something that’s as smart as humans (which is practically implied because it’s indistinguishable) we would have super human intelligence, because it’s as smart as humans but (numbers made up) can do 10 days of cognitive human work in just 10 minutes.

Our brains are amazingly fast given the form factor and energy usage.

“Amazingly” fast for bio-chemistry, but insanely slow compared to electrical signals, chips and computers. But to be fair the energy usage really is almost magic.
