  1. What LLMs and the Turing test¹ tell us: most of us not only are² stochastic parrots³ but are also fine with that – otherwise we would not happily use LLMs to produce all the output we communicate to others.

    One could frame this as “insult to humanity” but I prefer to call it telling.

    ¹the Turing test does _not_ measure “intelligence”. I recommend to read the original paper: archive.org/details/MIND--COMP
    ²if you want to phrase it more polite: “behave like”
    ³at least regarding social interactions

  2. 3/ I strongly suspect that #LLM are just optimized to pass the #Turing_test with flying colours.
    I did not notice it at once because the Turing test seems very general but these #stochasticparrots are really tuned for this task. This could explain why they are so useful for #scammers and utterly #useless for John Doe when he thinks that ChaptGPT is a kind of magical search engine.
