The Turing Test is a good test for intelligence, but it may not be a good test for consciousness, given the possibility of philosophical zombies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_zombie

If you’re worried about zombies then no test will help you since they are “indistinguishable” from a non-zombie. If a person cannot prove they’re not a zombie then it’s a meaningless distinction.
If an AI were conscious would its outputs reflect that characteristically?
