One way or another, the way people are taught and demonstrate their knowledge will need to fundamentally change in the very near future. Colleges and universities should already be addressing this.
As far as the Turing test goes, well that one response to that one question linked above, it seems to me that it was written by a human. But that doesn't mean it passes the Turing test yet. I want to ask it more questions, try to get a hint of its personality, its likes and dislikes, its flaws as a person, memories and nostalgias, things that are extremely difficult for a machine to mimic.
Like, if you have an intelligent conversation, and then ask something completely irrelevant and stupid, does the AI recognise this change in conversation to be odd, and respond in a human way that is consistent with the personality it has portrayed to this point?
Machines can already fool people who don't probe, but if you ask the right questions and with a degree of personality inconsistency that you'd only expect another human to pick up on, a proper Turing test, I don't think such a machine exists yet. That seems a long way off, at least in terms of fooling all humans.
