Ok, but then it doesn't make sense to dismiss AI based on that. It fails the Turing test, because it's creators intentionally don't even try to make something that is good at the (strictly defined) Turing test.

If someone really wants to see a Turing-passing bot, I guess someone could try making one but I'm doubtful it would be of much use.

Anyways,people forget that the thought experiment by Turing was a rhetorical device, not something he envisioned to build. The point was to say that semantic debates about "intelligence" are distractions.
