Well, that's the point, right? Poe's law an all? We know Turing knew, far better than most, of the power of sophistry to highlight the edge cases. Sentience is found in those edge cases, not in the fat, meaty middle ... the peri-canny <https://www.etymonline.com/word/canny?ref=etymonline_crossreference>.

FWIW, I still feel that the Turing test is worse than non-sense. Worse in that it suggests a feasible program, which it doesn't. Like opposing free will with determinism, from a false opposition comes a seductive limit. I wonder if we will ever hear from the Google employee themself, and this appears to be the best I can hope for. It has always appeared to me that Turing was joking. It only confuses me that others don't.
