A few years ago, the Turing Test was universally seen as sufficient for identifying intelligence. Now we’re scouring the planet for obscure tests to make us feel superior again. One can argue that the Turing Test was not actually adequate for this purpose, but we should at least admit how far we have shifted the goalposts since then.

Useful things to keep in mind about the "Turing test:

a) It was not meant as a "test" by Turing, rather as a thought experiment.

b) It does not require intelligence to pass tests that claim to be it. See:
