The Turing test has been passed. The Turing test had already been passed in 2002. The Turing test isn't about some machine fooling all humans all the time. It's about fooling some humans some of the time. That's an extremely low bar. It has been cleared. Let's put this to rest.
The bar you mentioned was reached in the 1960s with ELIZA. I have no idea why the obsession with the test has persisted into modern generations. It was some guy's thought experiment from 1950. It's not scientific in any fashion. Passing it doesn't prove anything. It's like some kind of authority worship game where people invoke the name of Turing as though doing so bolsters the strength of their arguments in any way whatsoever.
