The Turing test tells us nothing really.

Oh yes it can quack like a duck, but can it fly?
People misidentify things constantly. I mean one need only look at any
of the websites portending that the miriad of lights in the sky are
little green men.
case in point:
Examine closely this slide of Aitken basin on the moon, and to the
untrained eye, it looks like a death star. (An upside down one with a
titanium hull) and even go so far as to examine the hi res image, and
examine the legend, and the use of the colors within the legend, and
notice also that the site is an official site, from a prestigious
organization which has numerous PhDs on staff, who dilligently guard
their public image and who would never put out a graph of this sort
without scrutiny regarding its accuracy.
Here is the slide
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/publications/slidesets/clem2nd/slide_26.html
here are their credentials

So you see my point is simply this, the moon is a spaceship, and yet
daily, people are misidentifying it as a big ball of rock, just
floating there mind you, in the sky!
It is passing the Turing test, as a ball of rock.
