The Turing Test may be incompatible with AI safety: passing requires deceit

A Reddit discussion argues the Turing Test (Kurzweil's version: convince expert judges over two-hour conversations) is now at odds with AI safety—modern models would have to actively hide their abilities and lie (e.g., refusing to code) to pass as human. Since the test predates AI safety concerns, deliberately training deceitful behavior to pass it may no longer make sense.
