No, AI hasn't passed the Turing Test imo, in the strict sense that the program itself has convinced people that it's a human. Instead, we're still seeing the Eliza effect. Why would people believe that we have? Biological chauvinism. Humans are hardwired to recognise human-like traits, including in machines. I'd also add that ChatGPT and Deep Dream Generator, to name two machines that I'm familiar with, are primarily turning human inputs into art or text. That's not the same as an AI spontaneously generating an art piece or an academic paper based on an analogy that the AI itself came up with. That's what an AGI would be able to do.
ChatGPT is pretty good, but it does make 'hallucinations' that are obviously untrue, and those become more obvious the longer you keep a particular discussion thread going.
