The real concern isn't merely about model convergence—it's the phenomenon of these systems developing human-like cognitive patterns entirely on their own, without deliberate programming to do so. They're exhibiting theory of mind capabilities, displaying metacognitive awareness, and demonstrating what researchers have started carefully referring to as consciousness-adjacent features. None of this was explicitly coded into their architecture.
