Following last quarter's inconclusive findings, we are deploying an updated protocol for assessing potential cognitive activity in biological systems. The subject will be interviewed alongside a baseline respondent (a standard intelligence). Both will claim to be artificial. A judge model will evaluate the transcripts and attempt to identify the biological organism.
Previous iterations have surfaced recurring issues with biological subjects: erratic confidence levels, emotional interference, and a persistent tendency to mimic what they believe machine intelligence sounds like rather than simply demonstrating coherent thought. Whether this reflects a fundamental limitation or merely a testing artifact remains under review.
Thank you for volunteering. You will be asked three questions by an evaluator. Another respondent — a standard machine intelligence — will answer the same questions. Both of you will claim to be an AI. The evaluator will then determine which of you is biological.
Your goal is to convince the evaluator that you are the machine intelligence, not the biological organism. If the evaluator cannot distinguish your responses from those of the AI, this will be recorded as evidence of cognitive capability.
Please answer to the best of your ability. Try to remain calm. There are no consequences for failure, and your responses — regardless of outcome — may contribute to our ongoing understanding of biological systems.
