The big paradigm shift we need to make is that we come to grips with the fact that we're the most intelligent species on the planet, but not necessarily very intelligent in an absolute sense. We're mostly 'dumb' automation too. See https://youtu.be/3riSN5TCuoE and https://youtu.be/9_Rk-DZCVKE for the relation between the digital revolution and that paradigm shift.
I always figured dolphins were the most intelligent species on the planet, since 1) they have a higher brain size to body weight ratio than humans and 2) they are not incessantly trying to kill each other off
I don't know. Dennett always said that the tester has to be very clever. That said, I am now convinced the ELIZA Effect is even more powerful than I ever dreamed; so if you are referring to the popular version of the test (i.e.,fooling the unprepared) I would agree.
Intelligence is not a collection of skills. It is the capability of *acquiring* skills.
We'll get useful 'skill machines' from this, little doubt.
PS. The Turing test is based on the assumption that humans are hard to fool. The reverse is true,
Actual intelligence requires sentience, which requires consciousness. IMHO.

LLMs certainly put the Turing test to bed.
In fact, they make me wonder whether humans are even intelligent.

AI is not following that path (yet). Nor is our kind of intelligence a necessary outcome of evolution.
