Passed the Touring test does not sentience make.
At this level of tech, passing the Turing test is mostly about the gullibility of the human.
There is a difference between self-awareness and sentience.
At least two cats are self-aware. This spider seems to be self-aware: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij4pdf49bxw (Note that it discovers that the mirror image has something to do with itself, then apparently tries to verify experimentally that this impression is indeed the case. The motives are unknowable, but drawing conclusions from my own inner life, I'd venture to say the spider finds the phenomenon interesting.)
