GPT-4 clearly demonstrates close to human level reasoning. In some cases greater than human level, in other cases less. And it also is clear that it does not do things that it isn't told to do. It does not have autonomy. However, I believe that in order to compete, hyperspeed AIs directed by humans will need greater and greater levels of autonomy. Otherwise they will be stalled waiting for directions while their competition runs circles around them. It is also almost inevitable that someone deliberately creates intelligent AIs that mimic various aspects of living beings such as full autonomy, control-seeking, etc. I think the trick is to separate out all of the different facets of animals and humans apart from intelligence or "human-level". There are things like emotions, autonomy, stream of subjective experience, types of adaptability, etc. that are not the same as intelligence or reasoning ability.
