... Did... did anyone actually expect an enormously complicated autocomplete to... reason?

There is no concrete definition of consciousness or intelligence, but we know when something seems like it. LLMs along with "AI" complexes (LLMs with access to other GAN modules or similar functions) smash the Turing test on multiple fronts at this point, that's enough for the question of "did we accidentally a mind?"

It's good to check every once in a while.

Chat bots have been "smashing" Turing tests for a long time.
