I think better than a human being. A human works more in "modes", is thinking in english or thinking in spanish or german. A person thinking in german will try to understand in german a word he heard.

With ChatGPT, you can write a question in a mix of spanish and english, and the bot will understand the question and answer it. To me that means all words where evaluated for a the potential individual meaning and in the context on all potential languages, including programming languages.

I don't think this is true. It's not uncommon to switch languages in the middle of a sentence among members of a bilingual household. I'm pretty sure a lot of people think in multiple languages simultaneously, too.

It's pretty hard to define a sense of "language" other than as a collection of associations between words, which is exactly what LLMs are.

I'm not gonna define language but it is not a collection of associations between words. At all. Nor is it for LLMs, because tokens are not the same thing as words.
