Comments.Text: I find it especially fascinating that the gpt-3.5 version of chatgpt can do ASCII art, as I thought it was trained on text only. But i am no expert and not entirely sure about this though. If it was indeed trained on text only, it is indeed counter-intuitive to me that it can draw.

Comments.Text: Ask Google the same question and you will get some results. Those results were maybe used to train ChatGPT. Now it should be clear why ChatGPT may be able to do it. Before asking these questions, just ask on Google the same question. If you find something similar, then the trivial answer is most likely just "because it was trained with similar data". Now, I don't know which data was used to train ChatGPT, so this is just an assumption, which I think is very reasonable.
