Same here! Amazing stuff that I have waited for my entire life, and I won't let luddite haters ruin it for me. Their impotent rage is tiring but in the end it's just one more thing you have to ignore.
I won't ignore them. I'll continue to loudly disagree with the losers and proudly collect downvotes from them knowing I got under their skin.
GP doesn't have to defend their position. They like something, and they don't shut up about it even though it makes a bunch of haters mad. That's good; no defense required. On the contrary: those who get mad need to defend themselves.
That's why I said it passed the Turing test. It did, in the wild. I think if you set up an adversarial Turing test it'd fare much more poorly, but consider this: anyone dealing with it knew they were dealing with a computer, not just 'text from a mystery messager in another room'. So in a sense it more than passed the Turing test, in that people started out knowing it was not a person, yet began to treat it as one anyhow.
This is more about how little it takes to pass a Turing test and be treated as intelligence… which is mighty salient to discussions of what we now call 'AI'. Some of you are taking today's Eliza mighty seriously.
Tbh, I don't care about Turing tests, or the AI narrative of big corps or doomers. I do care about my personal experience with LLMs and diffusion models. Not in a mighty serious way, but in mighty fun and entertaining way that wasn't possible before.
