So it's quite neat that we've managed to beat the test by brute-forcing the right NN architecture on a goal function that literally is just "give the same response as a thinking human", in full generality of that phrase.
> But even then, this goal is far away. We are not asking just about simple short chat imitation games but whether a computer can operationally do everything humans are capable of in the textual medium. This often requires experts.
That is moving the goalposts. Or just another game entirely - which is fine on its own, as a further milestone.
