LLMs are close enough to pass the Turing Test. That was a huge milestone. They are capable of abstract reasoning and can perform many tasks very well but they aren't AGI. They can't teach themselves to play chess at the level of a dedicated chess engine or fly an airplane using the same model they use to copypasta a React UI. They can only fool non-proficient humans into believing that they might be capable of doing those things.

Turing Test was a thought experiment not a real benchmark for intelligence. If you read the paper the idea originated from it is largely philosophical.

As for abstract reasoning, if you look at ARC-2 it is barely capable though at least some progress has been made with the ARC-1 benchmark.

I wasn't claiming the Turing Test was a benchmark for intelligence but the ability to fool a human into thinking a machine is intelligent in conversation is still a significant milestone. I should have said "some abstract reasoning". ARC-2 looks promising.
