I've had a profound realization playing with #GPT3.
The vast majority of people are basically running #GPT3. They speak, they utter sentences, but they mostly copy what other people say & have very little critical thinking. But they're good at babbling.
Most people are NPCs.

Yes, a big issue with arguments about "is GPT3 conscious/sentient" is that it glosses over "are most people conscious/sentient"

This is why the Turing test does not really test for artificial intelligence. A true test for AI would look more like the slave part of Plato's Meno dialogue. Can an AI synthesize a solution concept to a novel problem without being told the answer?

The Turing test isn't a well conceived test. Why would evolution leave humans with the ability to distinguish between the input of a human and a computer program through text alone? There's no analogous problem in nature.

The test doesn't come from evolution but from imaginative hypothesis. While our intelligence may have been furnished with its unique tools by an evolutionary process, the imagination is not bound by biological necessity, but only by the pure concepts of the understanding.

It runs contrary to a very powerful baked-in environmental condition that's part of our cognitive substrate; the test isn't something that's intuitive and in-built because it was refined over eons. This is (ironically) the profile of a problem better solved with machine learning
