The next paragraph has

"Passing the strong form of the test would indeed be clear evidence of general Artificial Intelligence. But this will not happen in the short- or mid-term."

To me this is a more realistic claim, but undermines the rest of the paper. The title and abstract claim that Turing machines cannot pass the Turing test (with the implication being that they can /never/ pass the Turing test), while that quote says that computers cannot pass the Turing test now or in the near future. The latter is a much weaker claim, but seems to actually be supported by the paper. As a disclaimer I only skimmed the paper.
