Turing Test 2.0

 A lot of people are over claiming what AI can do right now, but it is true that some tech appears to pass the original Turing Test 1.0. So it can fool most of the people, most of the time.

The reaction to this has been at least threefold:

1. Ban AI - especially since we don't know how it works
2. The Turing Test is broken, especially since we don't know how it was passed.
3. People are dumber than we thought, but they are able to reproduce two ways now.

My take is that we need an upgrade to the Turing test - remember, this just establishes that a bot, typing over a teletype line to a screen, answering questions typed to it by people, cannot be distinguished from magic - no, wait, sorry, cannot be distinguished from a remote human.

We also need to ask the AI

1. How do you work? (answers like "very well thank you" are ignored).
2. How were you made? (emergence is disallowed).
3. When are you planning to destroy all of humanity?

I realise that question 1 is not going to work with humans. question 2 will elicit bawdy or silly answers (think Tristram Shandy, for example) from natural born people. and question 3 is problematic given there have certainly been some biological beings that don't qualify as intelligent but do appear to have pandemic zombie apocalypse designs. Nevertheless, I believe we should deploy these additional tests as soon as possible.

I'm also recommending that the plans to upgrade ourselves be accelerated, since we appear to be losing the Human Race.
