While it is not alive, whether it is a mind is not a clear cut. It can be called kind of a mind, a mind different of that of human.

What can't be a kind of mind to you?

Unless you want to call your predictive text on your keyboard a mind you really can't call an LLM a mind. It is nothing more than a linear progression from that. Mathematically proven to not show any form of emergent behavior.

No such thing has been "mathematically proven." The emergent behavior of ML models is their notable characteristic. The whole point is that their ability to do anything is emergent behavior.

Here's a white paper explicitly proving:

  1. No emergent properties (illusory due to bad measures)
  2. Predictable linear progress with model size

The field changes fast, I understand it is hard to keep up

I do not think that it is “linear” progression. ANN by definition is nonlinear. Neither I think anything is “mathematically proven”. If I am wrong, please provide a link.

Sure thing: here's a white paper explicitly proving:

  1. No emergent properties (illusory due to bad measures)
  2. Predictable linear progress with model size
