🤯 One Big Story: This AI Fooled Humans 73% of the Time (Even More Than Humans Did)

It’s official: GPT-4.5 can now pass the original, authentic version of the Turing test—and not just barely. In a new study from the University of San Diego, GPT-4.5 convinced humans it was also human in 73% of cases. That’s more than the actual humans in the study. Wild.

The original Turing test—aka the “imitation game”—was designed to see if a machine could fool a person into thinking it was human in a side-by-side conversation. GPT-4.5 didn’t just blend in… it outperformed the real thing, especially when given a persona prompt (like a chill, slang-using internet-savvy introvert). The study tested over 1,000 games and confirmed that style, flow, and personality—more than facts or logic—were what tricked people most.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• GPT-4.5 passed the original Turing test, fooling humans 73% of the time

• It was more convincing than actual people in some tests

• A well-crafted persona made all the difference—style over smarts

• The biggest takeaway: humans trusted the “vibe” more than the content

My Take:
This is a major milestone. We’re now living in a world where AI can pass as human—not just in isolated chats, but in true side-by-side comparisons. That’s powerful… and a little scary. The upside? Better communication with AI. The downside? If people can’t tell the difference, bad actors can exploit that. We need transparency baked into this tech, now more than ever.

⚡️ Cool Tech: You Can Now Buy a Flying Car (But It’s Already Sold Out)

Aptly named Swedish startup Jetson is turning sci-fi into reality with the Jetson One, a personal flying vehicle that’s more drone than car. This sleek, single-seat eVTOL aircraft uses eight rotors and weighs just over 250 pounds, letting you lift off with no pilot’s license required. It’s made for short-range flights—think 20 minutes of low-altitude cruising at speeds up to 63 mph—with intuitive controls that get you airborne in under five minutes.

And it’s not just fun—it’s safe. The Jetson One features a triple-redundant flight computer, automatic emergency landing functions, and even a rapid-deployment ballistic parachute as a last resort. Built from an aluminum space frame and carbon fiber body panels, it’s engineered for both performance and portability. Already sold out through 2026, this futuristic flyer is now available to reserve for 2027.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Jetson One is a personal flying vehicle with 8 rotors, no pilot license required in the U.S.

• Flies up to 63 mph for 20 minutes—ideal for short commutes and pure excitement

• Triple-redundant safety systems, auto-hover, and emergency landing features ensure safer flights

• Lightweight carbon fiber and aluminum design keeps it sleek, agile, and under 300 pounds

• 2025 and 2026 models are sold out—2027 orders now open at jetson.com
