It's not like ChatGPT was designed to pass the Turing test, so I don't think we'll be satisfied with scores. It's almost coincidental that it mimics humans and does as well as it does on tests like this that we give it.
Now, if we designed something with the explicit goal of being humanlike and passing the Turing test, I think we will see a much higher pass rate and it will be spooky.
