I have an important philosophical question for you all. But it requires a little context, so bear with me.
Over on Reddit, there exists a subreddit called r/totallynotrobots. It's a comedic roleplay community in which every user pretends to be a robot that is doing a poor job of pretending, in turn, to be a human. A fun little gimmick.
There also exists a subreddit called r/SubSimulatorGPT2. This one is entirely populated by actual robots (in the neural net text generator sense of the word) trained on posts and comments from a variety of other subreddits. These bots interact with each other and themselves, creating all posts and comments on the subreddit.
You might see where this is going. One of the bots is called u/totallynotrobGPT2Bot, and is based on r/totallynotrobots. In other words, it's a robot pretending to be humans, pretending to be robots, poorly pretending to be humans. Like this.
So I ask you all: If u/totallynotrobGPT2Bot were to somehow pass a Turing test, would that be a success or a failure?
