The Turing test was never a gold standard for anything. We talked about it because it was an obvious early milestone that only needed more hardware to pass it. Having passed it puts our AIs on par with various human toddlers and some older exotic birds.

Beating chess masters is more interesting. Playing Jeopardy is interesting.

But none of these things is particularly useful.

There's also useful stuff happening, like basic toddler shape recognition.

But none of it points toward unstopped sentient robot overlords.

Some interesting stuff that points towards stupid simple robot overlords has heen available to experts for a long time. What changed is that search engines speak English now.
