I do have high confidence that strong AI is possible, so yes logically it seems like there will come a point where it's hard to tell whether we've actually achieved it or not. That's not now though, it just seems absurd to me that some people even knowing how these things work can deceive themselves so badly. However I suppose we shouldn't really be surprised. Human beings are incredibly easy to fool. I get tricked by optical illusions, clever puzzles and stage magic. There are loads of people who are convinced that videos, that to me are clearly of birds and things like weather balloons or optical illusions, are weird possibly alien super technology. Ask a thousand people to make a thousand observations and you'll pretty much always get a handful of extreme outliers that bear no relation to what was actually there to observe. We just need to bear that in mind.
