> Does a calculator truly understand math when it spits out a correct answer? Of course not.

Yes, but the difference is that nobody's trying to argue that the calculator is an intelligent being. I've seen people here on HN who are convinced that ChatGPT is a sentient lifeform which deserves its own rights.

Other big difference is that the calculator doesn't ever make things up like ChatGPT does.
