Large language models (LLMs) are getting better at pretending to be human, with GPT-4.5 now resoundingly passing the Turing test.

This is the first time an LLM has passed the more challenging and original configuration of computer scientist Alan Turing's "imitation game" The core idea of the test is less about proving machines can think and more about whether they can imitate humans.

This could lead to better communication systems that could be targeted to exploit humans via social engineering.

Some of the worst harms from LLMs might occur where people are unaware that they are interacting with an AI rather than a human.
