What is the Girlfriend Turing test?

Sources:

The "Girlfriend Turing Test" is a theoretical concept discussed by Lex Fridman and George Hotz, referring to the idea of computers being able to mimic a girlfriend so perfectly that they pass this specialized version of the Turing test. The test would examine if AI can convincingly simulate a human girlfriend's responses and behaviors to the extent that it becomes indistinguishable from a real human counterpart. This concept arises in a conversation about potential changes in social norms like monogamy due to advancements in AI, reflecting on how deep the impersonation of human-like interactions can go and what it might mean for human relationships 1.
