How is this machine doing reasoning ?

Why do you think you can use this word in this context ?

What is reasoning?

Is it perhaps having a consistent model which allows you to describe every point of it?

Because if chatgpt can explain itself based on a model it builds with it than I actually does reasoning

No that's self awareness, reasonning is more applying logical rules to inputs to produce a logical output (inputs can be "wrong" though)

Self awareness is having a model of self. Having a model of something non-self has absolutely nothing to do with self-awareness.

It could only solve 3/45 Leetcode hards, I think people are giving the current iteration of this AI far too much credit for what they imagine future iterations to be.

When it has true reasoning and critical thought is when we will see it evolve into something else, for now it seems we're still in the first generations of microprocessors with GPT-4, in the grand scheme of things they only have a few transistors but we couldn't possibly comprehend where the technology would be merely a decade or two from now.

It can solve exactly zero leetcode easies if they are original problems seen for the first time for which no training data exists.
