 ChatGPT does not actually "understand" anything.
 It said so itself when I asked it.
 

That depends on how you define the term.
The functional equivalent of human understanding
seems to count as understanding. It displayed a
sequence of reasoning steps that shows how and
why HHH does correctly reject DD as non-halting.
int DD()
{
   int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
   if (Halt_Status)
     HERE: goto HERE;
   return Halt_Status;
}
