Brought Turing Back in References

It’s truly mind blowing. Brought Turing back. At least in the references... Meder-Reisen, Meredith Ringer Morris, Yusée Doshi, Renelito Delos Santos, Toju Duke, Johnny Soraker, Ben zevenbergen, Vinodkumar Prabhakaran, Mark Diaz, Ben Hutchinson, Kristen Olson, Alejandra Molina, Erin Hoffman-John, Josh Lee, Lora Arroyo, Ravi Rajakumar, Alena Butryna, Matthew Lamm, Viktoriya Kuzmina, Joe Fenton, Aaron Cohen, Rachel Bernstein, Ray Kurzweil, Blaise Aguera-Arcas, Claire Cui, Marian Croak, Ed Chi, and Quoc Le. 2022. Lamda: Language models for dialog applications. Alan M Turing. 2009. Computing machinery and intelligence. Ashish Vaswani, Noam Shazeer, Niki Parmar, Jakob Uszkoreit, Llion Jones, Aidan N Gomez, Łukasz Kaiser, and Illia Polosukhin. 2017. Attention is all you need. In Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 30, pages 5998–6008.

The meme shows a screenshot of an academic paper’s references, with the citation “Alan M Turing. 2009. Computing machinery and intelligence.” circled beneath a caption saying that Turing was brought back. The joke is that Alan Turing’s famous 1950 work is humorously presented as a 2009 reference in a modern paper, making it look as though the authors resurrected him or brought him back into current AI research. It is used as a reaction to absurdly anachronistic citations or surprising AI-related coincidences.
