Get chat GPT to learn and it does have a changing internal state (the entire network), and memory (also the network).
It wouldn't be a internal state you could parse by talking to it, and it wouldn't be human, but it would exist and you would see signs of it changing as you spoke to it. That's when you cross the boundary and need to start thinking about classical ethics and motives and such.
