It would only be analogous to the test of the students if you published a short list of acceptable topics for the TT and limited the questions to that. Which they don’t do.
Actually, don’t they currently limit conversations to a preselected topic? And still the chatbots fail.
I’m not really sure what you’re driving at here. We don’t have any software even close to being able to pass the TT right now; at the moment, using relatively easy subsets of the TT is the most useful thing to do. That doesn’t mean that anyone expects that passing such a subset counts as passing the general TT.
I was just noting that current “Turing Tests” are exactly what was being used as an example of something-that-is-not-a-Turing-test. It’s mildly ironic, that’s all.
