It's worth emphasizing that the "Turing Test" is not a good test since it's not at all scientific.

It's just another thought experiment that grifters have taken to the bank.

Also as Turing proposed it it's meant to be infinitely repeatable. The test isn't supposed to just be if a machine can convince one person with one conversation. That would be trivial. The real Turing test is the converse, it says that there should be no conversation one could have with the machine where it wouldn't convince you it's a human.
