> We adopt a two-player implementation of the Turing Test, where an interrogator asks questions of a single witness and must decide if they are human or an AI. This differs from Turing’s original three-person formulation, but obviates the need to have multiple human participants online for each game.

So, not actually a Turing test. A real Turing test is much harder, because the humans (if they've practiced) can try to coordinate, sort of like playing Werewolf.

Thanks for pointing this out, we do discuss it briefly in section 4.2, but I like your analysis in the blog!

Since the models are not passing, we didn't think it was a huge issue. If models are consistently passing the 2-person version, I think the motivation for running a (more cumbersome) 3-person version would be a lot stronger.
