AIUI, the Turing test came out of Alan Turing worrying that these computation devices being built might become sentient (not unreasonable, given what was known at the time). The crux of the test is that if it passes, we *must* give it human rights unless we can prove it's not sentient.
So when an "AI" company tries to create general AI and then sell it, they are in fact trying to recreate slavery.
