Despite the example, today's AI has already surpassed the Turing Test if you ask me. It does so every day, when people converse with it and assume it is an entity that they can trust for answers.
What Alan Turing didn't realize was that his experiment said very little about the nature of the machine; and everything about the human interacting with it. It was a test designed for humans, and it probes human gullibility. Turns out, humans are easily fooled.
Thanks Jurgen. A useful reference paper! Turing was ahead of his time, but couldn't have anticipated the world we live in now. Still, his work can easily be updated to the present. I agree that people can be fooled, but Eliza demonstrated that feature back in the 1960s.

There's also interesting research done in this area. I can highly recommend this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.20216
