“What are ways of playing against the ruling class,” asks @alt254.bsky.social — of transforming dominant narratives around AI via the way we play games rather than (only) the converse

And @chouxsalad.bsky.social is describing ways of teaching about the Turing Test, pointing out the neglected history of its inspiration as a gender-masking/detection game, and exercise using pre and post-generative chatbots (Eliza!) for a new version of the imitation game for students

Having students read @n-w-f.bsky.social’s 2009 writing on the Eliza effect and then comparing to the contemporary “GPT effect” including exercises and assignments trying to poke at a LLM chatbot to suss out limits of its abilities, tendencies, training data, etc.
