Goodbye Wonky Hands... Midjourney v7 Has Arrived
+ Human or AI? A historic milestone's been crossed
Think you can always tell when youāre chatting with a human? That just got trickier.
OpenAIās GPT-4.5 just passed the Turing testāmeaning it fooled people into thinking it was human 73% of the time.
This is a huge moment for AI, but it also raises some big questions like āWhen should AI tell us weāre not talking to a human?ā and āWhat even makes a conversation feel human these days?ā It may be time to rethink what ārealā connection looks like.
