> if memorized every single result of of a multiplication between two numbers up to the maximum a human can possibly think of, then do I understand multiplication?

No, ChatGPT is not simply regurgitating. It actually understands the data. It is one of the largest deep neural networks ever constructed.

Consider AlphaZero, the neural net that learned how to play Go and became the world champion. It started with nothing but the rules of the game. Deep Learning systems build a generalized model and reason about it. They are not simply regurgitating what they have already seen in their training set.
