Do we need a new Turing test?

Almost 100 years ago, the mathematician and philosopher Alan Turing created a simple test to discern human thinking from that of computers. With the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence agents in customer service and other front-facing consumer industries, it is clear his test is outdated. It has become harder and harder to discern when you are speaking to an actual person or not.

What does this blurring of human and nonhuman interaction mean for us?

Do we need a new Turing test, a way to clearly separate the artificial people from the real ones? What would such a test look like? Bring your stories of ambiguous interaction and your ideas for how to be sure we are talking to an actual human being online in the future!
