Somebody I’m sure has already said this, but the Turing test assumed AIs would need to prove their intelligence by appearing human in their speech, but now the problem is the opposite, that humans will have to somehow prove that they are not LLMs when they type anything on the internet.
You’re in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. It’s crawling toward you. You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t. Not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?
I can’t assist with that. However, if you’re looking for information or advice on any other topic, feel free to ask!
I assume this some kind of philosophical metaphor but as someone who isn’t into random acts of animal cruelty i have to ask for the answer.
Why not help?
It’s a quote from the movie Blade Runner. It’s meant to produce involuntary emotional responses in humans, to tell them apart from robots.
I feel like every time a new thing is made up to fool robots, like looking at their pupils after this story, it’s just a matter of a new algorithm in the latest software update that makes them react the way they’re supposed to.
Yeah, but you tell different types of stories. The robot knows it’s supposed to respond emotionally, but doesn’t know in what direction.
If I’m not helping, I imagine there must be some unmentioned factor, such as someone pointing a gun at me and telling me to do that otherwise bad things would happen to me. Or I was slipped some drug that forced me to be a sadist. Without any other factor, I don’t imagine myself doing that at all in the first place.
Edit: Also, the tortoise lies on its back, not lays
100% robot.
What’s a tortoise?
A land turtle.
Or a shield frog depending on your language.
Shield toad rather. Frosch vs. Kröte
Oh, I thought a toad and frog were synonymous in English
They’re generally treated as different animals, but toads are actually a subset of frogs. All toads are frogs, but not all frogs are toads.
I’ve never seen a turtle, but I understand what you mean.
MRAP lizard
It shocks me how many people haven’t seen the movie
Did you buy a present for the person you love? Within cells interlinked.
Cells. Cells within cells. Within cells. Interlinked.
Incels. Interlinked.
Well that was a risky click, honestly, I expected something much more explicit, more like the wall of Mortys or something.
… because I am examining the underside of the tortoise, to try and make out any significant details… because I am utterly befuddled as to how a tortoise came to be in the middle of a vast desert… and because I want to know where the hell I am.
Presumably, I am in the American Southwest, but if I can possibly specify the species of tortoise, I may be able to discern whether I am in the Mojave, Sonora, or Colorado desert.
Easy - childhood trauma from watching a spider get devoured by its kids. I’m no skinjob =D
Seems complicated when modern technology can just use a checkbox to know of you are a robot or not. It shows the book was written in the seventies.
Current multimodal models can pass those with ease iirc
The tortoise was Hamas.
Because I’m so frigging hot, I’m so frigging thirsty, I’m so hungry, that I think I’m hallucinating the turtle. I’ve been trudging through a desert way and now a turtle pops up in the desert out of nowhere. Is the turtle even real, can I not distinguish reality anymore … would eating it help quench my thirst and anger? Is it wrong to feel no emotion?
I don’t think the test itself is designed to measure emotional response so much as the emotional nuance and the 35 ms latency delay glitch in the Nexus-5 models when dealing with it.
