I don't think so. This is of course a philosophical point but without some underlying thing we can call "intelligence" this will never be more than a quirk. When something/someone is pretending to be something they are not, this hoax will sooner or later fall apart. If a computer can trick you into thinking you are having a conversation with a real human by optimizing for the common things people will try when playing the Turing test (like common knowledge, persistence between questions, non-sense questions etc) you gain nothing in the quest for AI. One may find some use with a fluffing machine that can output almost coherent jumble that a human may or may not need to go over depending on the use case.
