Capital Letter Test Spooks AI, Proves Superiority Of Humans

A clever use of capital letters could be an easy way to flummox artificial intelligence (AI) like ChatGPT, letting people distinguish them from humans in conversation, Chris Stokel-Walker reported for New Scientist.

The idea is reminiscent of the Turing test, first proposed by computer scientist Alan Turing in 1950. He said that an AI would be considered truly intelligent once we couldn’t distinguish its answers from a human’s.

The Turing Test is a method of inquiry in AI for determining whether or not a computer is capable of thinking like a human being.

The test is named after Alan Turing, the founder of the Turing Test and an English computer scientist, cryptanalyst, mathematician, and theoretical biologist. Turing proposed that a computer can be said to possess AI if it can mimic human responses under specific conditions.

The Turing Test requires three terminals, each of which is separated from the other two.

One terminal is operated by a computer, while the others are operated by humans. One person acts as the questioner, while the second and the computer function as respondents.

The questioner interrogates the respondents on a subject area using a specified format and context. The questioner is then asked to decide which respondent was human and which was a computer.

If the questioner makes the correct determination in half of the test runs or less, the computer is deemed to have AI as the questioner regards it as "just as human" as the human respondent.

With the use of capital letters in all communications, AI is usually stumped and cannot comprehensively understand why the messenger sticks to using all caps, which would then lead to wrong replies.
