It feels like a Turing Test pass when social engineering is a valid attack.

The real pass will be when ChatGPT calls your bullshit.

Depending on their upbringing many people don’t call people on bullshit

I'm not sure "social engineering" is the right terminology here. Maybe "threatening" or "shaming"?

Arguably, "threatening" and "shaming" are both forms of "social engineering."

100%. The bulk of social engineering is leveraging, abusing, and breaking social norms so people feel compelled to do what you want them to.

or even more effective, threatening to break social norms on your behalf.
