Also, the Turing Test isn't some holy grail of AI. It's just a thought experiment, and not even the highest test for an AI that we can think of. Passing it is impressive don't get me wrong, but unlike what clickbait articles would tell you, it does not automatically mean an AI is sentient or is smarter than humans or anything like that. It means it passed the thought experiment, nothing more.

Also also, ChatGPT was not the first AI to pass the Turing Test. Actually, plenty have, even over a decade before.
