This is an interesting point: is the Turing test inherently flawed for the fact that the judges are actively looking for "tells" that the actor is synthetic? Wouldn't a more reliable test involve participants that had no idea of the nature or point of the interaction? Maybe bots are way past the Turing test standard already. Maybe the test is just kind of misguided/insufficient.

Wait til the first AI puts on the stupid act to get what it wants.

But, but...how do you know that's not already happening?

Worth considering. Wouldn't the best test be one where the judges were completely unaware of the initial conditions? Like the bot was a Live chat representative for Amazon or an Omegle user.
