As soon as sheer volume of pattern matching results in answers indistinguishable from huge levels of awareness/reasoning, what is still the point in saying the algorithm is not "aware" or reasoning ? And believe me, the areas in which this appears the case increase day by day. Also, what makes you sure that awareness and reasoning is more than mere pattern matching? We humans find ourselves so special that it is simply hard to imagine that we would consist purely of a huge set of chemical and physical reactions.
