No one has moved the goal posts. Let's see a computer pass a rigorous Turing test conducted by an interdisciplinary panel of expert evaluators. That has long been considered the gold standard for identifying the arrival of true AGI. GPT-4 is a tremendous technical achievement, but still far from that level.

The notion of some sort of technological "singularity" is just silly. It is essentially an article of faith, a secular religion among certain pseudo-intellectual members of the chattering class. There is no hard scientific backing for it.



If we had a large dataset of experts interrogating AI/people and noting answers that raised suspicion, we'd have AI passing the Turing test more often than actual people very quickly.


A Turing test doesn't require that the AI know the answers to the experts, only that it responds in a way that is equivalent of a person. It would be perfectly acceptable to answer I don't have a clue. You're asking for super intelligence.
