Yes, we do see signs of actual reasoning, see the papers linked in the article. (There are many others too.)

Yes, we have a tendency to anthropomorphize, but (most) researchers are aware of this.

The papers linked in the article discuss the mechanical operations that simulate reasoning. Intelligence is data efficiency and I don't see a strong argument that reasoning can exist if it requires a world's worth of data.

That doesn't mean that simulated reasoning isn't useful, it's wildly useful. But a thing is not its simulation.
