Have there been any articles on what's wrong with the Turing test as a measure of personhood? (even in it's least convenient form)

In short the problems I see are: False positives, false negatives, ignoring available information about the actual agent, and not reliably testing all the things that make personhood valuable.

False positives, false negatives

This sounds pretty exhaustive.
