"But today’s A.I. systems can pass the Turing Test with flying colors, and researchers have had to come up with new, harder evaluations."
I disagree. Just look at the exact definition of the original Turing test:

I do claim that a trained judge when confronted with two entities (1 person, 1 computer/AI) can easily come up with questions that enable him to distinguish the person from the AI in most cases (for inspirations just look at older HN discussions about hallucinations, or what AIs do in "unexpected situations" such as "nonsense texts" such as "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" etc.)
