    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 a normal conversation sure.

      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.

        you may be disqualified as a jury for asking that question.

        You want to read again about the scientific basics of the Turing test (hint: it is not a tennis match)
