Alan Turing proposed the "imitation game" to assess whether machines can imitate or exhibit human-level intelligent behavior.

The test was created as a philosophical thought experiment rather than a practical means of defining machine intelligence.

The rise of ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence systems and large language models (LLM) has reignited the conversation around the Turing test.

The Turing test is becoming obsolete as a meaningful benchmark for artificial intelligence capability, an expert says.

LLMs are evolving from simply mimicking humans to being agentic systems that are able to pursue goals via programming "scaffolding" "The real challenge isn't whether AI can fool humans in conversation, but whether it can develop genuine common sense, reasoning and goal alignment that matches human values and intentions".
