No. I'm not mistaken here. Most people aren't. Clearly it's not creating a full bash shell and operating system. What it's doing is imitating one in the same way you can imitate a shell with a keyboard if given instructions to do so. Here's the thing. You as a human are obviously not compiling an entire OS in your head to do such a task. But if you wanted to emulate a terminal, then on some level you need to understand how it all works from a more symbolic higher level. My claim is that chatGPT understands this in a way remarkably similar to how we understand things.
