    To clarify:

    People seem to legit think the jury talks to the bot in real time and can ask about literally whatever they want.

    Its rather insulting to the scientist that put a lot of thought into organizing a controlled environment to properly test defined criteria.

      lmao. These “scientists” are frauds. 500 people is not a legit sample site. 5 minutes is a pathetic amount of time. 54% is basically the same as guessing. And most importantly the “Turing Test” is not a scientific test that can be “passed” with one weak study.

      Instead of bootlicking “scientists”, we should be harshly criticizing the overwhelming tide of bad science and pseudo-science.

        I don’t think the methodology is the issue with this one. 500 people can absolutely be a legitimate sample size. Under basic assumptions about the sample being representative and the effect size being sufficiently large you do not need more than a couple hundred participants to make statistically significant observations. 54% being close to 50% doesn’t mean the result is inconclusive. With an ideal sample it means people couldn’t reliably differentiate the human from the bot, which is presumably what the researchers believed is of interest.
