Like a chess computer participating in a chess tournament to trick other players into thinking of it as an actual human participant isn’t a good way of testing the chessprogram’s ability to play chess or it’s intelligence , the turing test is not a good way of testing the machine’s intelligence.
What I intended to say with the choice of word “truly” was that the tests are not really about testing the AI, they’re about tricking humans. For them to be about testing the AI, something else is required. In my opinion for a computer to really do the same it would rather be that the AI learns how to trick humans and attempts to keep track on how he is doing, and has a reward system that directs the progression of the behavior of the AI. If there was a reward system implemented externally—people would modify the code of the AI and add inputs for the reward system which to them are good indicators of tricked humans, then even a not very intelligent AI could adapt into a behavior pattern which would end up tricking humans, but it would still do it without really understanding any of it. But even more likely than that, humans are going to design a way of making conversation that is likely to trick other humans, and then implement a code for a program, that follows this path via some sort of neural networks or bruteforce based on prior inputs. To me that is equivalent of creating a trick that has nothing to do with AI, which succesfully deceives a human. Kind of like an answering machine....
In my opinion the Turing Test does not amount to intelligence of the program or the machine. It is not a good indicator for it.

The idea is that tricking humans is a complicated enough process that anything that is capable of doing so would have to be intelligent anyway.
The fact that nothing has passed the test yet indicates that it’s not as easy as you make it sound.
Define “truly” in a non-circular way.
