I remember reading once that a machine had finally passed the Turing test, but when I looked in detail at what some of the judges on the panel had thought was a human talking, I realized how subjective the test was.
Right now people talk to bots every day, in the form of customer support.
People's modern perceptions about bots are much more evolved than when the test was first theorized, so now it is the time to do an actual Turing test.
It will probably fail, but we are surely close to the point where an AI will actually pass it.
My guess is we are 10 years away from that moment. It will be like the movie "Her".
