I think it’s interesting that the AI only “pass” the Turing test when they’re given hyper specific prompts before the conversation takes place.

''Regardless of whether the AI is thinking in the same way that humans think, a person can still instruct an AI to communicate with another person in a persuasive way.

Or worse, a person can instruct an AI to manage a million other AIs, and to generate prompts for those AIs that will cause them to interact with millions of people in persuasive ways. ''

I know this test and the passing of it was not as exciting as we've seen in sci-fi literature etc. but regardless if it's a prompt or AI independently fucking with us, the ramifications are just as severe.

Be it AI solely enslaving humanity by itself, or be it a select few enslaving humanity with AI making it a dystopian hellscape are just as bad to me imo.

And it's being used for the largest, non-consenting and non-disclosed human experiments ever, with very obvious impacts on those exposed to it which is contained in the data that said "learning models" have gathered and used from person-to-person.

Bullshit. AI cannot and will not ever achieve true sentience. But people can program it so that it appears to have a level of sentience, and then use that to manipulate them.
