We do online interviews where we don't tell the applicant she is talking to an AI.  See if she gets along with it OK.  If so, not only would that pass the Turing test, but also it would show that the Turing criterion for artificial intelligence is flawed.

Microsoft “lobotomized” AI-powered Bing Chat, and its fans aren’t happy
Microsoft limits long conversations to address "concerns being raised."

Microsoft's new AI-powered Bing Chat service, still in private
testing, has been in the headlines for its wild and erratic outputs.
But that era has apparently come to an end. At some point during the
past two days, Microsoft has significantly curtailed Bing's ability to
threaten its users, have existential meltdowns, or declare its love
for them.
During Bing Chat's first week, test users noticed that Bing (also
known by its code name, Sydney) began to act significantly unhinged
when conversations got too long. As a result, Microsoft limited users
to 50 messages per day and five inputs per conversation. In addition,
Bing Chat will no longer tell you how it feels or talk about itself.

It is still very early in development, so I would expect changes to continue.
