> Apologies for an open-ended question but: does anyone know if there is a term for something like Turing-completeness within AI, where a certain level of intelligence can simulate any other type of intelligence like our brains do?

You're missing a step here - the difference between "imagining doing something" and "actually doing something". An ML model can produce thoughts, but that isn't necessarily the same direction of research as actually doing things in real life, much less becoming superhuman and taking over the world etc.
In your imagination, everything always goes your way.
