Hinton is in the above video and it was in 1980s that he looked at small language prediction model, where he could predict the next word. The compute power was not available then for more dramatic results available now.
One of the metaphors used in the video towards the end is that airplanes can fly but are not birds. If I may stetch that no one thinks that the planes are conscious like birds. In a similar vein the AI can beat humans in all humanly activities but will never be conscious, based on philosophy, how we built them and started them and based on Quran 17:85 and the verse where the Quran challenges that humans cannot even create a conscious mosquito.
