 Kulikov (2020) suggests that there is value in considering Preferential Engagement Tests or Meaningful Engagement Tests. Even though computers can now beat the best humans at chess, many people prefer to play chess with humans rather than with expert chess-playing computers. Perhaps, even if computers could pass The Turing Test, people would prefer to carry on conversations with humans rather than with expert conversational computers. We think that this kind of speculation relies upon assumptions about what could make for expert conversational partners. If our conversational partners need to be able to update information about their surroundings in real time—for example, while watching a game of football—then we will not think that there is a direct path from GPT-3 to expert conversational partners. If only androids can be expert conversational partners, then it is less clear that Preferential Engagement Tests or Meaningful Engagement Tests will track anything other than anthropocentric bias.
