The Turing test was *never* a relevant goal for AI.

If you were trying to assess that a matter teleportation occured by asking an audience of witnesses about it, you'd be encouraging the development of prestidigitation tricks, not research in physics. This is the same. The Turing test encourages deception, not progress.

Bots that "pass the Turing test" are to AI research what a David Copperfield show in Vegas is to physics research. (And yes, his shows do involve some amount of physics and engineering.)
