At the minimum, chatgpt displays a remarkable ability to maintain a consistent speech throughout a long and complex conversation with a user, taking into account all the internal implicit references.

this to me is the proof it is able to correctly infer meaning, and is clearly a sign of intelligence. (something a drunk human has trouble doing, for example).

"I have seen the output and it matches what I consider to be conversation"

Well yeah, it's been trained to produce output that would look like conversation.

it's not what i meant : you can have a full conversation and then at some point use "it" or "him" , and based on the rest of the sentence, it will understand what previous element of the conversation you were mentionning..

This requires at least "some" conceptualisation of the things you're talking about. It's not just statistics.

It does not require conceptualization, pretty sure the "understanding" of previous references comes from this: https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762

This is exactly statistics.
