Can machines think efficiently?
Quick summary
arXiv:2510.26954v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The Turing Test is no longer adequate for distinguishing human and machine intelligence. With advanced artificial intelligence systems already passing the original Turing Test and contributing to serious ethical and environmental concerns, we urgently need to update the test. This work expands upon the original imitation game by accounting for an additional factor: the energy spent answering the questions. By adding the constraint of energy, the new test forces us to evaluate intelligence through the lens of efficiency, connecting the a

Why it matters
This development shows AI moving deeper into everyday software. Productivity potential should be weighed against price, data permissions, exportability and the preservation of human control.
