Theoretical essay reveals paradoxes in evaluating artificial intelligence through the Turing test, highlighting corporeity and sense-making as true attributes of life.
This essay shares a series of intuitions about certain paradoxes that artificial intelligence reveals when confronted with the Turing test. Using chess as an example, we ask about the feasibility of distinguishing intelligent behaviour from the ability to simulate, or even the impossibility of discrimination by the average human. We offer sense-making and corporeity, as opposed to mere computations, as the central attribute of living beings. And in attempting to discern the limits of these simulations, we even consult ChatGPT's own opinion.
