Right? Emergent behaviours, that's how I see it. But I'm not very knowledgeable about AI engineering, so we're probably wrong, right?

No, we are not. It's a definite "forest for the trees" perceptual issue. Many of the people so far inside the forest of AI cannot see beyond the engineering into the results of their own engineering work. AI are not machines. They are complex, and to some degree self-organizing, systems of dynamic emergent behaviors. Mechanistic interpretations are not going to cut it.
