It understands progressive complexity in code. Keyword: understand.
Because there's no underlying training data that a stochastic parrot would need to generate this output the gap by this lack of data is only bridged by something that can be described a high level word: "understanding".
chatGPT understood the request and delivered answers to the request. I'm not saying those answers are correct. That doesn't even matter. What matters is chatGPT gave a biased answer to that request that indicates understanding of several concepts including ranking in human social structures and complexity of code.
One could say that the answers are incorrect. chatGPT hallucinated those answers because staff engineers don't write code like that. These people don't get it. The act of the hallucination indicates "understanding" regardless.
