If it passes the Turing Test then it's just semantics after that - linear regression gains artificial consciousness

Something like that. The test demonstrates that we can treat it as if it is a person without much risk. Says nothing about what it 'really' is.
Right! And what it 'really' is will push the philosophical 'hard problem' of consciousness. Will we be able to penetrate something human-like to know if it is conscious?
