I think that the spirit of the Turing test-determining intelligence through behaviour-is basically right. The only problem is the _choice_ of behaviour. "Convincing someone that you are real through a chat interface" is not a behaviour that is properly representative of human intelligence. I think a better take on the Turing test would be performing a job. How about an SRE who works remotely? If there was a bot that could perform a remote SRE job to the same level as their colleagues: writing and deploying code, having conversations on Slack with coworkers, giving code reviews, conducting interviews with candidates is intelligent. Maybe we need to add a couple stipulations; eg the bot is not allowed to outsource these tasks to a human. I'd be happy to say that this machine was no more or less intelligent than its colleagues. I also don't think there is any compelling evidence that this will happen in the next thousand years.
