Recent results from present-day instantiations of the Turing test, most notably the annual Loebner Prize competition, have fueled the perception that the test has either already been passed or that it soon will be. With this perception comes the implication that computers are on the verge of achieving human-level cognition. We argue that the perspective on the Turing test is flawed because it l...
