For example, if someone asks “is x possible” and he answers that it is, summarizing that was “x is possible” is misleading. Simply because there is a difference between calling out a thing unprompted, and answering a question about it. Former is what I meant by “Sam claims”.
At the very top it says “Q&A”, i.e. all of these are answers to questions, none are Sam Altman shouting from the rooftop.
His answer about Turing test was that they were planning to not do it, though if they tried, they thought they could build that with a lot of effort. You summarized it as gpt5 might be able to pass it. I don’t know what else to say about that, they seem pretty different to me.
I did not summarize it as “GPT-5 might be able to pass it”. I said “GPT-5 might be able to pass it. But probably not worth the effort.” Which to my mind clearly shows that a) there would be an engineering effort involved b) this would be a big effort and c) therefore they are not going to do it. He specifically mentioned GPT-5 as a model were this might become feasible.
Also: In one breath you complain that in Sam Altman’s answers there was a lot of hedging that is missing here, and in the next you say “”might” makes the whole sentence almost meaningless”. Like, what do you want? I can’t simultaneously hedge more and less.
