The Turing test was *never* a relevant goal for AI. We should remember that Turing never intended it as a literal test to be passed by a machine designed for that purpose, but as a philosophical device in an argument about the nature of thinking.https://www.fastcompany.com/90590042/turing-test-obsolete-ai-benchmark-amazon-alexa …

isn't it rather that the Turing test / deception is quite good to measure advances on genuine human like intelligence, and failing on that front, ditching it towards mechanical tests is moving the goalpost towards industry metrics

You mean “fake it till you make it” isn’t a valid approach to science? Has LinkedIn been lying to us?

It's also important to say that the same year the test was invented ELIZA beat the test so passing the Turing test has NEVER been a big achievement

That happened ~15 years later.

To what extent does a Xerox machine need to be intelligent? It makes exact copies of paper copies, but is loaded with extra features: enlarge, print upside down, and so on. We don't think of it as being intelligent.

So the main focus of a Xerox machine is "transmission" of the original, with deliberate noise added. Our urgent question needs to be: "is there a transmission expert in the room?" Fortunately there is, and his theories can be applied to autofocus in medical pic.s, adding.....

...clarity to RADAR echoes, and viewing text databases + user need as producing data bases as "echoes" from the database. The transmission expert is Claude E Shannon, whose "entropy minimization" has been show to be crucial to many areas of language....

..extrapolation from Shannon's work can get us a long way in ML. See my FB page "Koos Van Der Wilt" posts from 25 Augustus (August 25) - 14 September (Sepember 14).

John McCarthy once remarked that if geneticists treated fruit flies like AI folks treated chess, we'd have a lot of very fast fruit flies, but not much knowledge of genetics.

The "real" turing test is the ultimate test because once passed it will mean that machines will be indistinguishable from humans. It is a test that requires all of human cognition. It is not a 30 minute test like a Copperfield show but a permanent test that is spread over time.
