The major flaw of the Turing test is that it entirely abdicates the responsibility of defining intelligence and how to evaluate it (the value of a test). Instead, it delegates the task to human judges, who themselves don't have a proper definition or a proper evaluation process.

As a result, the Turing test does not at all provide incentives to develop greater intelligence, it solely encourages developers to figure out how to trick humans into believing a chatbot is intelligent.

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.
