The Turing Test was a pretty early metric and more of a thought experiment.
Let's be real guys, it was created by Turing. The same guy who built the first general purpose computer. Man was without a doubt a genius, but it also isn't that reasonable to think he'd come up with a good definition or metric for a technology that was like 70 years away. Brilliant start, but it is also like looking at Newton's Laws and evaluating quantum mechanics based off of that. Doesn't make Newton dumb, just means we've made progress. I hope we can all agree we've made progress...
And arguably the Turing Test was passed by Eliza. Arguably . But hey, that's why we refine and make progress. We find the edge of our metrics and ideas and then iterate. Change isn't bad, it is a necessary thing. What matters is the direction of change. Like velocity vs speed.
