a true open ended test would need to deviate from this text-based format nowadays.

Where does this leave mute humans, or partially paralyzed humans, or any other kind of human who can't verbally speak your language ? If we still classify them as "human", then what reason do you have for rejecting the AI ?

That's why the test only offers a sufficient condition for intelligence (not a necessary one) - at least that's the standard view.
