LLMs are now widely used in social science as stand-ins for humans—assuming they can produce realistic, human-like text
But... can they? We don’t actually know.
In our new study, we develop a Computational Turing Test.
And our findings are striking:
LLMs may be far less human-like than we think.🧵

I don't put a lot of stock in benchmarks, but this should give some people some pause
![A dark-themed bar chart titled “Agentic Reasoning.”
It compares model performance on “Humanity’s Last Exam (Text-only) w/ tools [3.b]”, described as “Expert-level questions across subjects.”
Three vertical bars are shown:
• Left (bright blue, K icon): 44.9
• Middle (light blue, knot logo): 41.7
• Right (tan, AI logo): 32.0
The chart visually emphasizes that the first model (K icon) leads slightly over the middle model, with both outperforming the third. The y-axis is unlabeled, but values likely represent performance scores or percentages.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ckaz32jwl6t2cno6fmuw2nhn/bafkreigbmc5sapicc3zgca3jpvmcgiuzfxdornumceuwbnspuknezigiru@jpeg)
