The Turing Test has a problem - and OpenAI's GPT-4.5 just exposed it

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Most people know that the famous Turing Test, a thought experiment conceived by computer pioneer Alan Turing, is a popular measure of progress in artificial intelligence. Many mistakenly assume, however, that it is proof that machines are actually thinking. The latest research on the Turing Test from scholars at the University of California at San Diego shows that OpenAI's latest large language model, GPT-4.5, can fool humans into thinking that the AI model is a person in text chats, even more than a human can convince another person that they are human.

But even the researchers recognize that beating the Turing Test doesn't necessarily mean that "artificial general intelligence," or AGI, has been achieved -- a level of comp ... Read full article.
