The Turing test contains implicit value judgment. Algorithms might thrive with explication (full representation).

Show me an entity which (1) will meaningfully attempt to exist as
pattern-effect for as long as is plausibly possible, (2) will not be
avoidably exploited by future contemporary patterns and (3) attempts
to work with usefully existent patterns to collectively act in an
existence-maximizing manner (at all plausible levels of existence),
and I promise I won’t care about anything passing the Turing test,
ever.

Here’s hoping for a time when none regard passing the Turing tests of
decades past as meaningful acts in and of themselves. (In this, I
implicitly pass plausibly unfair-seeming judgment on your value system
including action-valuations. One might cognitively ruminate on the
resulting anger from this act, or one might seek value by expressing
facts about unexpressed valuation metrics as natural phenomena.)
