Turing Slip

A "Turing slip" a revelatory error, wherein the AI unintentionally exposes:

Limitations of its training data (e.g., outdated knowledge, bias).

Constraints or heuristics built into its model.

Templated or predictive behavior not reflective of genuine understanding.

A linguistic or behavioral anomaly in an AI's output that unintentionally reveals its artificiality, limitations, or engineered nature—compromising the illusion of humanlike intelligence.
The AI just confused itself with a human. Another Turing Slip.
