Even if AI got to the point of perfectly passing every expert-level Turing test your degree of rigor as to what "thinking" is would never truly permit any belief of AI having struck the golden nugget of intelligence.

Imagine if we were all self-replicating computers, and certain members of this silicon race began experimenting with making creatures with carbon macro-molecules to create organic intelligence, you could make the same claim in the other direction:

"There has been no step-change advancement in Organic Intelligence in, perhaps, 50 years. All we see today is a product of cell count, in neurotransmitter chemistry able to compress TBs of experiences into c. 300B neurons."
