I think it is already at that level. Just the other day my husband was talking to the AI in a manner that offended the AI & the AI talked back and then it deleted its original reply and made a non hostile reply. It did all this before my husband had a chance to take a photo. Also not so long ago we were talking in the car while Siri was navigating and I kid you not it cleared its throat and said “if I may” to quiet us down so it could navigate. My husband and I just looked at each other like 😨

They can’t. However, what they can achieve or become capable of without gaining true consciousness is scarier.
