The Turing test focuses on the ability to chat—can we test the ability to think?

I disagree with the “limitations” they ascribe to the Turing test - if anything, they’re implementation issues. For example:

For instance, any of the games played during the test are imitation games designed to test whether or not a machine can imitate a human. The evaluators make decisions solely based on the language or tone of messages they receive.

There’s absolutely no reason why the evaluators shouldn’t take the content of the messages into account, and use it to judge the reasoning ability of whoever they’re chatting with.
