The test is a response to the Problem Of Other Minds.
Simply, no other test will be accepted by people that [insert something non human here] is genuinely intelligent.
The reasoning goes: strictly speaking the problem of other minds applies to other humans as well but we politely assume that the humans we’re talking to are genuinely intelligent or at least conscious on little more than the basis that we’re talking to them and they’re talking back like conscious human beings.
the longer and more involved the test the harder it is to use tricks to fake genuine intelligence.
