Scientists claim robots have reached human-level intelligence as AI successfully passes the renowned ‘Turing test’

Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

Important Takeaways:

  • Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots like ChatGPT have been designed to replicate human speech as closely as possible to improve the user experience.
  • But as AI gets more and more sophisticated, it’s becoming difficult to discern these computerized models from real people.
  • Now, scientists at University of California San Diego (UCSD) reveal that two of the leading chatbots have reached a major milestone.
  • Both GPT, which powers OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and LLaMa, which is behind Meta AI on WhatsApp and Facebook, have passed the famous Turing test.
  • Devised by British WWII codebreaker Alan Turing Alan Turing in 1950, the Turing test or ‘imitation game’ is a standard measure to test intelligence in a machine.
  • An AI passes the test when a human cannot correctly tell the difference between a response from another human and a response from the AI.
  • ‘The results constitute the first empirical evidence that any artificial system passes a standard three-party Turing test,’ say the UCSD scientists.
  • ‘If interrogators are not able to reliably distinguish between a human and a machine, then the machine is said to have passed.’
  • Last year, another study by the team found two predecessor models from OpenAI – ChatGPT-3.5 and ChatGPT-4 – fooled participants in 50 per cent and 54 per cent of cases (also when told to adopt a human persona).
  • As GPT-4.5 has now scored 73 per cent, this new suggests that ChatGPT’s models are getting better and better at impersonating humans.
