The Turing Test is absurd. Monkeys looking in a mirror never figure out that it is actually themselves that they’re looking at. That doesn’t make the mirror image another real monkey.

I think you've misunderstood the Turing test. Also, many primates can understand they are looking at a reflection of themselves when they look into mirrors.
