I notice the similitude with the story of Hachikō when I had already wrote 2/3 of my comment. (It's an nice punchline anyway.)

You should take a look at the play analysis of the games of AlphaStar made by Beastyqt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaJYF4iSvNs . He absolutely anthropomorphize the Protoss AlphaStar and says that it thinks this and then it thinks that. That version plays nice and use interesting moves. If that is thinking and understanding is an open question. (My answer is "just a little".)

If you have time you can see the Terran and Zerg version of AlphaStar. He is not happy with them. The Zerg version is a one trick pony that can almost be programed as an expert system. The Terran version doesn't play very well, because it's very difficult to know where to put the buildings and Siege Tanks.

It's interesting to see the difference in the anthropomorphized analysis.
