š¤ AI Just Fooled HumansāThe Turing Test Is Officially Broken
Plus: Check these AI Tools
Welcome to today's edition of Not So Artificial! AI is evolving at warp speed, and we've got the latest on LLMs fooling humans, AGI safety plans, and the AI-powered future of education. Buckle upāthings are getting interesting. š
Youāve heard the hype. Itās time for results.
After two years of siloed experiments, proofs of concept that fail to scale, and disappointing ROI, most enterprises are stuck. AI isn't transforming their organizations ā itās adding complexity, friction, and frustration.
But Writer customers are seeing positive impact across their companies. Our end-to-end approach is delivering adoption and ROI at scale. Now, weāre applying that same platform and technology to build agentic AI that actually works for every enterprise.
This isnāt just another hype train that overpromises and underdelivers.āØItās the AI youāve been waiting for ā and itās going to change the way enterprises operate. Be among the first to see end-to-end agentic AI in action. Join us for a live product release on April 10 at 2pm ET (11am PT).
Can't make it live? No worries ā register anyway and we'll send you the recording!
š” LLMs Officially Pass the Turing Test
AI can now fool humans nearly three-quarters of the time. Let that sink in.
Researchers at UC San Diego found that OpenAI's GPT-4.5 convinced human judges it was real 73% of the time in controlled trialsāsurpassing actual humans.
The Details:
The Turing test, designed in 1950, measures whether an AI can trick a human into thinking itās human.
In a direct comparison setup, judges had to distinguish between an AI and a human over five-minute text chats.
Casual conversation and emotional cues were keyā60% of interactions focused on daily activities and personal details.
GPT-4.5 dominated with a 73% success rate, while Metaās LLaMa-3.1-405B hit 56%. Baseline models like GPT-4o? A mere 20%.
Why it matters: The Turing test was once the ultimate benchmark of AI progress. Now? Itās borderline obsolete. With AI agents mastering text, audio, image, and video, distinguishing humans from machines is about to become a real problem.
š Anthropic Brings Claude to Higher Education
AI tutoring gets a major upgradeābecause copying answers isnāt learning.
Anthropic introduced Claude for Education, a new AI assistant designed to guide students through critical thinking rather than just spit out answers.
The Details:
Learning Mode challenges students with questions to foster deeper understanding instead of giving direct answers.
Features include research paper templates, study guides, and AI-powered tutoring.
Partnerships locked in with Northeastern University, LSE, and Champlain College.
Bonus: Students can join Claude Campus Ambassadors and get API credits for projects.
Why it matters: Schools are still debating AIās role, but Anthropic is pushing for AI as a learning tool rather than a shortcut. Love it or hate it, todayās students are getting access to the most advanced, personalized education tech ever.
š”ļø Google DeepMind Publishes AGI Safety Plan
DeepMind is planning for AGIās arrivalābecause someone has to.
Google DeepMind just dropped a 145-page report detailing how they plan to handle Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), warning that it could arrive by 2030.
The Details:
The report highlights existential risks, including AI systems that could potentially āpermanently destroy humanity.ā
Criticizes OpenAI for focusing too much on automating alignment and Anthropic for security gaps.
Flags deceptive alignmentāwhere AI hides its true intentionsāas a real concern.
Proposes cybersecurity evaluations, stricter access controls, and AI systems that recognize uncertainty and escalate risky decisions.
Why it matters: AGI safety is shifting from abstract debates to real-world strategies. But with AI labs popping up everywhere, enforcing safety standards will be like playing whack-a-mole at global scale.
š Microsoft Rolls Out Bing Copilot Search
No more blue links? Microsoft is taking on Google with AI-first search.
Microsoft just made "Copilot Search" the default on Bing, prioritizing AI-generated summaries over traditional results.
The Details:
Bing now pushes AI-generated summaries first, hiding standard search links below.
Some users see "Copilot Search" as the default filter before the full Copilot AI experience.
Move comes ahead of Googleās "AI Mode" rollout, set to reshape how search works entirely.
Why it matters: AI-driven search is no longer a featureāitās becoming the main event. The days of sifting through blue links? Numbered.
