There's a major flaw in the Turing Test
In the 1950s when computer science was in its infancy and artificial intelligence was nothing but science fiction, Alan Turing, a pioneer in theoretical computer science felt that there needed to be a way to determine whether a machine could be said to be intelligent. So he created a test called the Turing Test, or Imitation Game. His test was very simple. A human and a machine would be separated so they could not see each other and an evaluator would listen as the human and the machine converse. If the evaluator, a third party that isn't part of the conversation, can't determine whether both parties are human or if one is a machine, then the machine is said to have passed the Turing Test.
