If you've ever actually used any of these algorithms it becomes painfully obvious they do not "think". Give it a task slightly more complex/nuanced than what it has been trained on and you will see it draws obviously false conclusions that would be obviously wrong had any thought actual taken place. Generalization is not something they do, which is a fundamental part of human problem solving.
Make no mistake: they are text predictors.
