Although I have been critical of both LLMs and Turing tests it is still interesting to see Jones and Bergen's paper.* I generally do not think science is about tests, benchmarks, and metrics. A number of specialists and organizations have been rather premature in switching from doing science to doing engineering. Work done in industry tends to be rushed, seeking a product and a profit. Pure science is then best done in academic institutions. Of course the capitalists are trying to turn everything into a business including universities. This is not helpful.
