The turing test, if performed over the Internet, is absurdly easy to solve. Just write a bot that replies in a rude way, with bad grammar and spelling and use lots of Internet slang. The tester will conclude that it's a human idiot. Example: Tester> can you elaborate on the meaning of life? Bot> wtf? u suck lolololol!!! Tester> uhm... Bot> r u dumb?

Well, that’s not what Turing meant. What Turing meant was being able to ask the bot things, like "what do you think of Angela Merkel’s stance in the refugee debate?" or ask the bot about economics, or philosophy – and the bot would answer. Conversing with the bot, and doing it in a way where you receive answers that are meaningful, is a required part for intelligence. The people you mentioned – if judged just by their online interactions – would not count as intelligent life.
