Not enough people realize that the "Turing Test" as originally presented was "can a gay English man in 1945 tell the difference between a chatbot and a femme-coded woman" over a teletype connection.

(Turing was very gay and had a sex-segregated education and then work life: he basically didn't know women and his alienation is palpable. But today's techbros don't have any such excuse, and the emphasis on femme-coded AI is ... telling.)

This is one of the biggest reasons that I am so anti-AI, at least in its current incarnation. All of its promises to make work/life a little easier for people come at the expense of literally burning the world, and we were already doing far too much of that before these tools were released.
