I suspect that passing the Turing test doesn't actually correlate well with having human-like AI. The thing about the Turing test is that it's just too hard. Getting a machine to convincingly pretend to be human is like getting a human to convincingly pretend to be another human – you'd have to answer questions about life and emotional experiences you'd never had, and actually, most people who try that won't hold up to a good interrogator. Add to that the fact that you build a theory of human minds largely by drawing on your experience of your own mind – an AI without experience can only draw on the information it's given. A machine that can empathise despite that is well beyond human intellectual capability already. To put it another way: Even if we assume that a human-level AI has exactly human-like thinking, it's going to be pretty damn obvious if you're talking to a human who was literally born yesterday, so the AI still fails the test.
