>> People somehow forget how the Turing test was considered the definitive way of showing something to be "human-level consciousness".
People somehow forget that 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.

The Turing Test was to figure out which it the participants was a _Woman_ not human!

Er, wrong. In that paper Turing described his "imitation game" first in regard to a man imitating a woman to make it understandable and relatable. He then shifted it to a machine imitating a human.
