The Turing test is crude because it is so limited in scope. For instance, a dog could never be seen as intelligent through the methods of this form of testing. The Turing test is not trying to test whether something is conscious or self-aware. The test is however useful in that it demonstrates that intelligence can only determined when it is measured and this can only be done so in subjective manner.
A machine could easily create a symphony. It may sound horrible but that's my subjective opinion.
What constitutes a beautiful sunset? Again, it's complete subjectivity.
