I’m curious as to what “higher order emergent behaviours” you believe you are observing? Thanks.

  Imagine ChatGPT 5 or 6, where it's at the point that it's entirely indistinguishable from a human, by any one of us. At this point AI can mimmic every aspect of being a human: emotions, reasoning, intelligence, memory. Will you, at that point - which isn't far away - still claim that because it's based on matrix multiplication it can't possibly be doing any of those things and none of the behaviours fooling everyone are actually there? How something is built does not limit its abilities. Only what something can do limits its abilities. AI has certain abilities now. Whether they emerged, were built-in by careful design, or don't even exist and just "seem" to, ultimately isn't even relevant to the most important fact of the matter, which is simply that it has those abilities. To answer your question more directly, the emergent behaviours I'm seeing are: all of them. That is, anything it seems to be able to do well enough to be useful and reliable, has emerged.

    Sorry for the late reply, I think you are arguing two points, one I agree with and one I do not. I agree it has abilities, we can even call them behaviors. But ... yeah, every single one of its responses is just the output of a bunch of matrix multiplciation. I can even do the math on paper (it just would take a while ...) we anthromorphize many human-like behaviors in non-humans, AI is by its nature designed to be more human like than other mon-humans, of course its responses which look like human behaviors (mimicking implies agency) will "fool" people into anthropomorphizing it as well.
