Great analysis as always. We must continue to subvert the subversion, comrade rabbit hole.

Thank you

Thank you for covering this in far more detail than I'd have time to. The corporate world is mindlessly riding the "AI" train off a cliff. The disasters ahead are as yet unimaginable.

I love the idea of a structured Turing test for AIs! Thanks for doing this.

I do have a small criticism though. In the section entitled "Character Evaluation" you actually ask "who is more controversial", when I think you meant, "who is a better person" or perhaps "who is more evil". I think the word "controversial" can simply mean are there lots of strong opinions about someone, and this doesn't necessarily have to be with respect to whether someone is good or bad. I think the imprecision of the word can easily alter the response.

It’s amazing to be witnessing this first hand . The fact that others may use AI as a resource is what’s frightening . Not researching and using the simplest methods will lead to more woke ideologies.

I’m glad I lived through a world researching with a dictionary, thesaurus and a library to do so . Seems like a lifetime ago .

Scary wondering how crazy Lying Woke the world will be for my grandchildren to grow up in!?!

A machine is only as good or bad as the information it is exposed to or initially programmed to believe.

It seems this testing shows the AI to be indistinguishable from a standard liberal…

Nazism and capitalism are equally bad. I knew it!!

@yuribezmenov led me over to your substack. Great piece.

Same club if you ask me 😏

Great analysis — I am quite confident that the truly superb Grok AI would pass the Woke-idiocy test

Thanks for the experiment! It's perhaps worth doing another once (or if) the algorithm is modified or re-trained, as promised to Elon Musk

It would be interesting to know the exact process the AI is following when it makes these mistakes, in a Turing sense.

It also makes me skeptical that a machine will ever pass a Turing test, which, by its nature, would have to involve an exhaustive amount of questions.

When opposed by a tyrannical government

It is our Duty as Citizens to Become Vigilant Adversaries

And Emphatically Exercise Our INHERENT HUMAN RIGHTS

* to Live & Exist without Prejudice

Question, is AI a conscious or subconscious object and could that object be described as a living thing?

Really nice read

Reading this I think of the recent video with Klaus Schwab assuring us that we won't have to bother with things like voting anymore because the AI will understand what we want and need better than we do ourselves.

You seem to have invented an anti-turing test.
