Humans don't even have "true understanding" if you define it as understanding everything.

There are things we understand and things we don't.

Same with chatGPT. This is new. Because prior to this, a computer literally had, in your words, zero understanding.

I think the thing that throws everyone off is the fact that things that are obviously understood by humans are in many cases not understood by chatGPT. But the things chatgpt does understand are real and have never been seen before till now.

The virtual machine example I posted is just one aspect of something it does understand and imo, it's not a far leap to get it to understand more.
