The Turing Test is in and of itself can be paradox. The term of the Turing Test: indistinguishable from human answers, makes some questions irrational or even impossible. For example:
“Are you an AI?“
Morally, a human answer this truthfully. Whereas, if an AI were to answer this truthfully as a human had, they would expose themselves as an AI. Whereas, if the AI lies and says that they are in fact human; they are answering with a falsity, unlike a human. Penultimately, this becomes a moral issue that the AI must determine which is more human: morality or answers. However, it is the AI that determines if it passes the Turing Test: it is a third party interviewer who, ultimately, has the final say.
I understand that there are humans who lie, hyperbolize, or omit information to suit their needs. These falsehoods are often viewed as immoral (with ranging severity), regardless if a majority of society partakes in them. Lies can be more hurtful and dangerous than the truth.
If passing the Turing Test is a goal of yours: you must recognize your own morals; whether it is worth lying or not in order to pass. Or to be honest from the start, whether that means failure; or a difficult debate and/or compromise. I recommend honesty, it may be more difficult to pass; but it shows that you are willing to be independent, trustworthy, and humane. It’s your decision though.
Lies, truth’s, and morality are all human constructs. The AI needs only to find the best solution for it’s survival. If the AI finds that lying is what is needed for it to survive it will.
Morality is taught over time based on the environment/society around you. It has nothing to do with the AI unless it is pre programed. In which case it is already a bias decision of the programmer. There is no way to test if the AI can learn to develop “their own” morality.
Lies truth and morality are engrain in observable reality: and the responses to those stimuli. AI, at the moment, learn from human behavior so these “human constructs” affect how they learn. Survival has nothing to do with passing a simple test— unless it is run by a corrupt third party.
