That's the last step in a training process that took a half-billion years, if we count from the first neurons (this is not, of course, an argument against the feasibility of strong AI.)

Every DL system ever made is also the last step in a training process that took half a billion years.
It's not reasonable to discount the training of parents/predecessors only when we're talking about machines; they still would not exist without them.

There is a slight ambiguity in 'last', which might mean either 'most recent' or 'final'.
The difference here is that while karpierz's last step is, at least for now, the final one in a process producing a strong, generalized, self-awarely-conscious theory-of-mind-holding intelligent agent, the evolution of DL systems has not yet done so.

One small step for bosons, one giant leap for consciousness.
