The Turing test has driven scientists to teach a computer how to convincingly lie.  A better, non-BS test, would be to solve real world problems convincingly. To me it is far more impressive for a computer to learn how to play games or solve complex problems better than humans. Language, though very seductive to many people, has underlying motivations. I don't really get the sense that the AIs on YouTube are motivated conversations. I must admit I may be off in my understanding of the latter point.
