turing test is designed to see if an AI can pass for human in a conversation.
I’m pretty sure that I could ask a human that question in a normal conversation.
The idea of the Turing test was to have a way of telling humans and computers apart. It is NOT meant for putting some kind of ‘certified’ badge on that computer, and …
That’s not what LLMs are for.
…and you can’t cry ‘foul’ if I decide to use a question for which your computer was not programmed :-)
In this kind Turing tests you may be disqualified as a jury for asking that question.
Good science demands controlled areas and defined goals. Everyone can organize a homebrew touring tests but there also real proper ones with fixed response times, lengths.
Some touring tests may even have a human pick the best of 5 to provide to the jury. There are so many possible variations depending on test criteria.
