Ugh, these modern "Turing Tests" are a complete bastardization and dumbed down version of what Turing described. Here is his original paper. [1] In short the actual task involves a skilled interrogator, somebody of a given and specific identity, and then somebody pretending to have that identity. Turing proposed a simple example where you'd have a woman, and then a man pretending to be a woman. The more precise the identity, the more challenging the test becomes. A man might kind of sort be able to pass for a woman in text, but he'd never be able to pass for a nuclear physicist who has a twin brother working in neuroscience, against a skilled interrogator. And all participants are expected to actively collude and collaborate as much as possible to emphasize who is the "real" person. So for instance the woman might propose to help the interrogator by proposing questions he could use to help spot the fake, and/or to emphasize her own authenticity.

Modern takes generalize the identity to absurdity (with the identity being human or not), generally feature idiots (or people acting like such) for interrogators, and participants who are actively trying to act like a computer to trick the interrogator. Like in this article, the human is B and was asked, "What could you say to convince me that you're a human?" His response was "You just have to believe!" Why not just skip the pretext and just have the human start responding 01001001 01000010 01101111 01110100 01001100 01101111 01101100 to every question? And if all this nonsense wasn't enough, they bumped it up to 3 comps and 1 human pretending to be a comp. This isn't the Turing Test - it's complete LARPing!
