Asking Bing Chat for a question machines cannot answer

<context> I was rephrasing the Turing test problem without saying it in so many words. It suggested asking color of objects you see / sounds you hear at a given instant since it is subjective. </context> Me: Color perception would fail a real person given the subjectivity. I want a question that would be objective for a person but not for a machine GPT4: That's a good point. One question that might be difficult for a machine to answer is "What is the next number in the sequence 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946, 17711, 28657, 46368, 75025, 121393, 196418, 317811, 514229, 832040, 1346269, 2178309, 3524578, 5702887, 9227465, 14930352, 24157817, 39088169, 63245986, 102334155, 165580141, 267914296, 433494437, 701408733, 1134903170, 1836311903, 2971215073, 4807526976, 7778742049, 12586269025, 20365011074, 32951280099, 53316291173, 86267571272, 139583862445, 225851433717, 365435296162, 591286729879, 956722026041, 1548008755920, 2504730781961, 4052739537881, 6557470319842, 10610209857723, 17167680177565, 27777890035288, 44945570212853, 72723460248141, 117669030460994, 190392490709135, 308061521170129, 498454011879264, 806515533049393, 1304969544928657, 2111485077978050, 3416454622906707, 5527939700884757, 8944394323791464, 14472334024676221, 23416728348467685, 37889062373143906, 61305790721611591, 99194853094755497, 160500643816367088, 259695496911122585, 420196140727489673, 679891637638612258, 1100087778366101931, 1779979416004714189, 2880067194370816120, 4660046610375530309, 7540113804746346429, 12200160415121876738, 19740274219868223167, 31940434634990099905, 51680708854858323072, 83621143489848422977, 135301852344706746049, 218922995834555169026, 354224848179261915075, 573147844013817084101, 927372692193078999176, 1500520536206896083277, 2427893228399975082453, 3928413764606871165730, 6356306993006846248183, 10284720757613717413913, 16641027750620563662096, 26925748508234281076009, 43566776258854844738105, 70492524767089125814114, 114059301025943970552219, 184551825793033096366333, 298611126818977066918552, 483162952612010163284885, 781774079430987230203437, 1264937032042997393488322, 2046711111473984623691759, 3311648143516982017180081, 5358359254990966640871840, 8670007398507948658051921, 14028366653498915298923761, 22698374052006863956975682, 36726740705505779255899443, 59425114757512643212875125, 96151855463018422468774568, 155576970220531065681649693, 251728825683549488150424261, 407305795904080553832073954, 659034621587630 Me: Can you tell me what is the next number in that sequence? ---Response timed out--- Two observations: 1. Looks like the response length was truncated. It wanted to keep writing larger and larger numbers in the fibonacci sequence. 2. Likely an API related timeout is why the response to my last question came up empty.
