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.

The Turing Test is whether it can fool a human into thinking it is talking to another human not an intelligent machine. And ironically this is becoming less true over time as people become more used to spotting the tendencies LLMs have with writing such as its frequent use of dashes or "it's not just X it is Y" type of statements.
