>> The original Turing Test was designed to compare two participants chatting through a text-only interface: one AI and one human. The goal was to spot the imposter. Today, the test is simplified from three participants to just two: a human and an LLM. This changes the test from a comparison to a judgment.

Didn't know that. Good to know.

Imo this is a great, nuanced article. The benefits are there but the hype is unreal. It's like every hype cycle gets griftier.

Gartner hype cycle is pseudoscience. I tried to understand what the y axis is and how they measure it. Any answers here? Surely it’s not market cap.

The y axis is hype

In what way is hype quantified and different from stock market valuations? The stock market already captures public sentiment on future earnings, I.e hype.
