Even if your claim is true, how would LLMs/AI lead to uncovering this? I don’t see why they are related, except very tangentially.
I mean they said it was a bad theory.
More seriously, it seems to be essentially the idea that “surpassing human intelligence” is not the binary outcome many thought it would be, and that much of what passes for human intelligence interpersonally could be imitation of intelligence.
Yeah, the impetus comes from the Ashley Madison hacks.
Like, you had thousands of men paying real money to chat with (terrible) bots. To me, that was the passing of the Turing Test. But I know of nearly no person that could possibly fall for that scam. Even family members deep in dementia knew it was a joke. Yet Ashely Madison made a ton of cash.
That, to me, was puzzling. How could it happen that people that are that foolish would be able to hold a job or pay taxes? It made no sense.
So, the (bad) pet theory that I eventually came up with is that human intelligence is a lot wider than we think it is.
