Would be funny if there was a human in the loop that they're trying to hide

In the early days of Google, when I worked on websearch, if people asked me what I did there, I'd say: "I answer all the queries that start with S."

I remember around 2005 there were marquee displays in every lobby that showed a sample of recent search queries. No matter how hard folks tried to censor that marquee (I actually suspect no one tried very hard) something hilariously vile would show up every 5-10 mins.

I remember bumping into a very famous US politician in the lobby and pointing that marquee out to him just as it displayed a particularly dank query.

Still exists today. It's a position called Search Quality Evaluator. 10'000 people who work for Google whose task is to manually drag and drop the search results of popular search queries.

Scaling The Turk to OpenAI scale would be as impressive as agi

"The Turk was not a real machine, but a mechanical illusion. There was a person inside the machine working the controls. With a skilled chess player hidden inside the box, the Turk won most of the games. It played and won games against many people including Napoleon Bonaparte and Benjamin Franklin"

It's just Ilya typing really fast.

No, it's just Amirah Mouradi (Ermira Murati) typing really fast.

That would be the best news cycle of the whole boom

Like the "Just walk out" Amazon stores

And this human is Jensen Huang.
