in fact turing tests will be useless at some point, which is the whole basis of my speculation about alternatives to it as i originally stated. dont you agree that captchas will become obsolete at some point? what then?

If Turing tests become obsolete, we will have human level AI and the bots will be granted personhood. That’s the point of the test.

captchas are turing tests. their purpose is not to grant personhood to robots. captcha will be totally broken well before machines become sentient.

Turing tests are, by definition, the thing which if a computer passes all of then they are a person.
