Just proof that the Turing Test is not what Turing imagined it would be. It’s more an application of exploiting vulnerabilities in judges than in genuinely advancing AI.
The question then becomes: how can a harder variant of the Turing Test be created that would stay true to the spirit of the original, yet motivate high-quality, generally-applicable research?
Well, let’s not set the bar too high. E.g. “convinces 90% of a panel of psychologists, cognitive scientists, neuroscientists, and Natural Language Processing researchers in an hour long interrogation”.
Somebody else mentioned Winograd schema testing, which is justified by its targeting of specific weaknesses of current Question Answering / NLP approaches.
increase the time, increase the age, increase the degree of contact.
the highest level might be a full spectrum test using a human-like robot controlled by an AI which lives and works with professionals, convinces them it’s another professional forms relationships and goes unnoticed for months or years.

That sounds like one of those questions whose answer gets us a lot of the way to true AI.
