I asked my partner Jess and she said “a banana” which is pretty much a perfect answer: It’s heavy enough to hold the pages open, it’s long and thin so it won’t cover all the text, it’s curved so it won’t roll off, and it has a skin so it won’t mess up the book.
It’s not a perfect answer because it doesn’t answer the “why” portion of the question, it just flat ignores it. I don’t think your partner is secretly an AI, but that answer isn’t evidence of that. The explanation and the deep understanding is coming from you, not Jess. This seems like a good example of why in a Turing Test the judge is not told in advance which answers come from humans.
