There are different levels of the Turing Test afoot. Take a decent piece of AI poetry or art and ask, "Was this done by AI or by a leading poet or artist?" AI will probably fail the test. But now, ask, "Was this done by AI or by some tenured professor of poetry or art, and I don't think you're assured of getting the right answer."

Amazing poetry, as well as your beautiful comments. Thank you for the post. I have had GPT 4 for some time, but have not seriously tasked it other than making riddles for my children to seek hidden gifts about our property. Your post has energized me to engage it in my writing and data analysis.

Same here. The first prompt I gave it was basically a research project on McCartney's post-Beatles work. Presuming the numbers were accurate, I'd say it was essentially an A+ effort for at least a grad student, possibly for any level professional. It would certainly have taken at least 20 hours of "manual" labor to recreate myself. Ironically, it was surprising that it took over 8 minutes to do! You can also view the "work log", which was pretty interesting.
