Can machines really think like humans? A groundbreaking study from UC San Diego reveals that GPT-4.5, a powerful AI language model, outperformed real people in a Turing Test-style challenge—convincing judges it was human 73% of the time. This milestone suggests AI is not just mimicking language, but doing it so well that humans can’t always tell the difference. What does this mean for the future of intelligence, jobs, and trust? Discover what happened when today’s top AI models went head-to-head with humans in the most famous test of all.
