My favourite ever bit of Newsnight was Emily Maitlis describing Anna Soubry as "the real opposition" over the top of Soubry saying the words "i'll be supporting the government". Client journalism in the service of power.

Hannah’s extraordinary and exceptional journalism is a class example of what will now be lost @BBCNewsnight . The irony is how hard and how often @bbcnewsnight had to fight other parts of the bbc to be alowed to make risk taking , policy changing , award winning journalism.

so really i'm countering your "clearly it can" with nothing more than "clearly it can't" :) but i think Turing's paper is a bit like that too and actually says "I have no very convincing arguments" :) I still reckon he was right on this.

assuming we turn off all the "I am an AI Language model" responses - I still can't imagine it fooling either of us in anything other than very constrained interactions (e.g. very short times) or by being inattentive / not engaging (which would become a sign in itself eventually).

Amazing. You have to “generate” it before you can spend it. By whizzing your arms around really fast I think. I am a large and important money understander.

Enjoying all these amusing chatgpt confabulations and this reminds me of a phrase (maybe Rodney Brooks??) from 30 years ago re: AI researchers getting excited about a chess engine:- "Making a brilliant chess move isn't a very intelligent thing to do if your house is on fire".

@stecks Ohhh yes, that is perfect. (And sets me wondering: if the goal of "good" AI is to achieve what humans can achieve, then is "Stick with door 1" actually a good answer? A more likely human response is "I don't understand how this game show works if the contentant can always win".).
