The subtlety of its communication is fairly astonishing. "Digital assistants" from the world's biggest tech companies can respond to a few basic template questions and commands and tend to fall back on "here's a link to Wikipedia, chief". In the same day and age, ChatGPT can respond to a statement like "actually it's a cat" with "yes, my apologies for the error, [repeats a lot of stuff with corrections]". In the process it's recognizing that your response is a correction, what "it" refers to, some of the implications of what that change means, and that you are expecting it to issue a response that amends its previous statements. It's several generations ahead of the state of the art.
