See "Self-Adapting Language Models" from a group out of MIT recently which really gets at exactly that.

For a long time the turing test was the bar for AGI.
Then it blew past that and now, what I think is honestly happening, is that we don't really have the grip on "what is intelligence" that we thought we had. Our sample size for intelligence is essentially 1, so it might take a while to get a grip again.

The current models don't really pass Turing test. They pass some weird variations on it.
today's models are not able to think independently, nor are they conscious or able to mutate themselves to gain new information on the fly or make memories other than half baked solutions with putting stuff in the context window which just makes it use that to generate stuff related to it, imitating a story basically.
they're powerful when paired with a human operator, I.e. they "do" as told, but that is not "AGI" in my book
