Try reading Turing's thesis before making that assertion, because the imitation game wasn't meant to measure a tipping point of any kind.

It's just a thought experiment to show that machines achieving human capabilities isn't proof that machines "think", then he argues against multiple interpretations of what machines "thinking" does even mean, to conclude that whether machines think or not is not worth discussing and their capabilities are what matters.

That is, the test has nothing to do with whether machines can reach human capabilities in the first place. Turing took for granted they eventually would.
