I don't think it is. That example you posted earlier with the LinuxVM example... if you compare what it browsed at
www.deepmind.com/careers, and go to the actual URL and compare, there's nothing in common here. Nor does the HTML displayed when pretends to go to its own website match the real website.
What it appears to be doing (following the instructions the guy gave) is displaying what a terminal 'should show', without further explanation. Go to a website for a tech company's career page, and it the output should show some boilerplate text about how great it is to work at this company and some tech-related job openings, so that's what the chatbot displays.
As the article writer refers to it, this is an 'alt-internet' inside the chatbot's imagination. Which is probably more amazing than if it were just connecting to the actual internet.
