Should we understand this already? I'm not aware of anything else so far that's substantially different to our own brain, but would still be considered a 'mind'.

That I agree with wholeheartedly. Even just people's attempts of 'trolling' Bing Chat already leave a sour taste in my mouth.

I'm firstly thinking of minds of all other living things. Mammals to insects.
If an ant has a mind, which I think it does, why not chatgpt?
Heck, I might even go as far as saying that the super simple algorithm i wrote for a mob in a game has a mind. But maybe most would scoff at that notion.
And conscious minds to me are just minds that happen to have a bunch of features that means we feel we need to properly respect them.
