My deepfake DALL-E 2 vacation photos passed the Turing Test
Passing the Turing test requires, for any human judge:<p>1. This judge is aware that they have to discern whether the 'bot' is real or a machine.<p>2. The judge cannot discern whether the 'bot' is real or a machine better than random chance.<p>This failed 1. And even given that advantage, might have failed 2 as well?<p>Often I see headlines along the lines of "X fools people and beats the Turing test!". But the point of the Turing test isn't to trick a person, it's to make it functionally impossible for a person to distinguish between the real and simulated thing, no matter how hard they try. For something to pass a Turing test, it would need to be able to pass the following:<p>"Anyone can play as judge any number of times. You can take as long as you want, and if you're successful in breaking it under controlled conditions (IE, you don't cheat and use an out-of-band communication protocol with the 'bot'/human), we'll give you a 10,000,000$."<p>The "One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge" (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Million_Dollar_Paranormal_Challenge" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Million_Dollar_Paranormal_...</a>) is a solid example of a Turing test for magic.
