Buterin’s comments reference new research indicating most humans can no longer tell when they’re talking to a machine.
OpenAI’s GPT-4, a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model, has passed the Turing Test, according to Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin.
The Turing Test is a nebulous benchmark for AI systems purported to determine how human-like a conversational model is. The term was coined on account of famed mathematician Alan Turing who proposed the test in 1950.
According to Turing, at the time, an AI system capable of generating text that fools humans into thinking they’re having a conversation with another human would demonstrate the capacity for “thought.”
