There are certainly contexts in which that question can be answered differently. Say the actual question was "what is the [cheese] capital of France?", where the word is simply evident contextually. It's more than having a consistent view of the world, you have fundamentally better conceptual understanding that allow you to generalize the idea of political capitals to something unrelated like cheese and still understand the question. You also have a mental model of what the other person is thinking, so you know that "capital" probably isn't talking about cheese. GPT-3 doesn't have the former, and only knows the latter by statistical inference.
