AIUI, the Turing test came out of Alan Turing worrying that these computation devices being built might become sentient (not unreasonable, given what was known at the time). The crux of the test is that if it passes, we *must* give it human rights unless we can prove it's not sentient.

So when an "AI" company tries to create general AI and then sell it, they are in fact trying to recreate slavery.

@suetanvil @pawsplay it's kinda funny that most AIs (especially LLMs) are constructed in a way that they can't be turing complete (due to being tightly memory constrained). So the turing test is still a kinda great way to catch AI.

Not really, beyond the naming. The Turing Test and Turing Completeness are completely unrelated concepts; they're just named after the same guy.
