I’m pulling the “twitter is a microblog” rule even though twitter is pretty mega now, hope that’s ok.

    If a person murders people only two days out of 10, they’re a murderer, in order to not be a murderer they need to never do that.
    Reliably correct is when you’re correct always. Demonstrably incorrect is when you’re incorrect even sometimes.

      Reliably correct is when you’re correct always.

      Agreed, except I add “almost”. “My car reliably starts” it starts “almost always”: more than 2 in 10 times. “You reliably turn up on time” doesn’t mean you’re late 8 in 10 times, it means you almost always turn up on time. To “almost always”, or “reliably” a thing: it means you fail 1 in 100, in a 1000, in 10,000 times. 10k is hyperbole, but the idea is clear right? Almost always/reliably != failing 8 out of 10 times.

      Your original point that these bots, that pass 2 in 10 times, reliably pass was wrong. Because: they dont “always pass”, they don’t “almost always” pass, they dont, even “pass in the majority of times”, they rarely pass.

      Let’s add our reliable = always substitution to the quote:

      Turing test can be [always] passed by a bot that repeats last part of the previous sentence with a question mark at the end […]

      You see how that’s wrong not just in fact, but in spirit too?

      If a person murders people only two days out of 10, they’re a murderer, in order to not be a murderer they need to never do that.

      Relevance? Who says “Fegenerate is reliably a murder?”

      Demonstrably incorrect is when you’re incorrect even sometimes.

      Relevance? You didn’t use the word "demonstrably passed’. I’d have no problems is you did?
