The article touched on Turing's expectations for a computer to produce a sonnet and how those goal posts have changed and I have to ask myself would the average person even pass that test today? If you ask a person to say how their day was in the form of a haiku they wouldn't even know where you're talking about. AI has exceeded the capabilities of the average person in a few subjects it would seem. Does that say more about the state of intelligence today or about the nature of consciousness in general?
