What is "real understanding", and what question can we ask ChatGPT to determine whether it has it?

Ask it how to prevent Spotify from automatically playing every time you get in your car. The answer will involve a bunch of Android settings that don't actually exist, cobbled together from a bunch of bad advice in online forums. Explain to it how it's wrong. Then clear your cache and ask it the same question again from scratch, and get the same garbage. Repeat until it's clear that it doesn't understand anything.
