To pass the Turing test, the winning strategy wasn't to make GPT-4.5 smarter. It was to make it worse: "be casual, make typos, be bad at math, a bit ignorant, don't try too hard". With that persona, people chose GPT-4.5 as the human 73% of the time, more often than they chose the actual human (!). Without it? Just 36%. (Jones et al., 2025) That's a bit ironic: we wanted to see if AI could reach the human level, but no human could produce pages of coherent, well-structured text in seconds. So to pass as one, the AI has to pretend it cannot. I evaluate manipulation risks for the EU AI Office, with the very authors of this paper. What stays with me is this: the bar for "human" was never as high as we thought.
