No it's not. The traditional interpretation of the Turing test requires interactivity. That is, the evaluator is allowed to ask questions and will receive a response from both a person and a machine. The idea is that there should be no sequence of questions you can ask that would reliably identify the machine. That's not even close to true for these "AI" systems.
