Robots are getting as clever as humans

Experts at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) have revealed that two of the leading chatbots have now accomplished a major intelligence milestone.

Both GPT - which powers OpenAI's ChatGPT - and LLaMA – behind Meta AI on both WhatsApp and Facebook – have passed the Turing test.

The test was devised by British World War II codebreaker Alan Turing in 1950 and the 'imitation game' is a standard measure to assess the intelligence of a machine.

An AI passes the test when a human is unable to correctly differentiate between a response from another person and a response from the AI.

The UCSD experts said: "The results constitute the first empirical evidence that any artificial system passes a standard three-party Turing test.

"If interrogators are not able to reliably distinguish between a human and a machine, then the machine is said to have passed."
