Fascinating read, but for me it confirms my belief that the risk is not in AI actually becoming intelligent, but rather us humans mistaking its faking skills for understanding

The difference between "faking" and the "real thing" may be only quantitative not qualitative. It may be even only a question of definition, i.e. non-existent. Note that all our definitions related to intelligence were created by humans, therefore are extremely biased.
