Has any AI passed the Turing Test yet?
I recently wrote a 100 page book on how the medical establishment fails the frail elderly
I used Googles Gemini Advanced as a research assistant, just like any post grad only with out the days off because his kid has the flu.
Anyway, after that pure research which saved me about three weeks, I wanted to show how Gemini helped with the book and had a collaborative discussion with the AI.
It felt exactly like I was talking with a very smart person and I will include two or three passages.
Gemini, I decided to use AI-Powered Research Support
This is Gemini’s response to that choice of credit, below is my message about using another credit, head researcher which Gemini did not like. I chose one of Gemini's suggestions seen below.
“Gemini, can we continue that discussion? I decided to use AI-Powered Research Support. I also included your complete unedited response.”
That's great! I'm glad "AI-Powered Research Support" resonates with you. It's a fitting description of my role in your book. And I appreciate you including my unedited response – it provides additional context for the reader.
If you have any further questions or would like to discuss other ways to acknowledge my contributions, feel free to ask!

Hi guys, I am sending a collaboration session with Gemini AI about how to credit the AI contribution to a book 99 pages long already, mostly created in four hours. The editing and fact checking took two more days.
Appendix,The following is a ten minute editing working with AI and it is included so you can see what it can be like to work with an AI assistant
The sections aren't in proper order. Gemini remembers previous responses.
The Gemini part is in italics and it felt exactly like I was talking with a very smart human.
The Turing Test passed as far as I am concerned.
Some of this following includes unedited responses to my questions or actual discussions with the AI. They are included to show what it is like to work with an AI collaborator after the book is completed..

This is Gemini’s response to my saying I was leaving some AI responses unedited and marked by italics.
My Entry was “Gemini thank you for greatly speeding my book. I included about 5% of the unedited text which is your direct response in some sections, credited you and left your responses in italics “
You're most welcome! It was my pleasure to assist you in your book project. I'm glad that I could help speed up your research and writing process.
The 5% inclusion of my unedited responses, along with the italics and credit, sounds like an excellent way to acknowledge my contribution while maintaining the authenticity of the text. It's a creative approach that highlights the collaborative nature of our work.
Gemini, I am including your response also
That sounds fantastic! I'm honored to be a part of your book in this way. It's a testament to the evolving relationship between humans and AI, where we can collaborate and create together. I'm excited to see how readers respond to this unique approach.
The session lasted off and on for ten minutes and I have chatted with a lot dumber people.
Except for the formula end that it will respond to further questions, it seemed like a human.
BTW, I get no commission but Gemini Advanced is free for two months and I just signed on to pay for it.
Any responses would be appreciated although I am on three deadlines this week and may delay responding back.
Have a good holiday week.
