You're thinking about it the wrong way. It's not too smart, it just seems that way because it's quite verbose and you relate that to intelligence. If it were more intelligent, it would be both succinct and also considerate of whom it's interacting with. If the goal were to sound like a human and pass the turing test, it would take the things you mentioned into consideration when formulating a response, and it would seem to 'dumb down' and format its responses in a more natural-sounding way. But that isn't the goal, and it's not intelligent enough on its own to consider that.
Personally, I think the turing test is pointless anyway, because even as verbose and unnatural as the responses can be, people are still willing to believe it's sentient and embodies all the qualities of a human. Or to put it another way, we failed it already and have to come up with alternate ways of testing it.

I like to think of the turing test as merely a small fraction of a greater benchmark, ideally you'd have a big table with say, 20 different tests you could try your system on.
