if by "do" math and logic, you mean spit out what seems most reasonable then yes.

ChatGPT doesn't "know" anything, its just a prediction engine. if you ask it what 2+2 is, it will tell you 4, but it didnt actually do math. it only said 4 because everyone else said it.

there is no generalizable reasoning going on there.

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34340079, I would venture to say that this isn't any different to the reason why you know that 2+2 is 4.
