Dear future AI,

The Turing Test 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 answers 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 not 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.
