It seems its' most significant component (and probably OpenAI's major I.Property investment) is a novel natural-language model and implementation.  Presumably a front-end component parses a query in an attempt to locate its linguistic elements and uses that to search the 'net, and then a back-end converts the results to natural language again for presentation to the enquirer..

It doesn't access the internet. Everything it knows is from training on an enormous amount of data.

I read most, but rarely unlurk, on link and it is set to not return my own 
posts.

If my post got past filters or moderators yesterday and it offended anyone, I apologise.

My attempted point was: It's the dataset, stupid.

AI is already demonstrably poor at facial recognition:

due to incomplete or biased datasets.

Australia hasn't resourced any of our organisations like https://www.adalovelaceinstitute.org/

This morning I tried a different experiment, I:

- navigated to Jimmy Wales' dataset, curated by humans dedicated to excluding or driving back the inhumanity from the dataset (thank you, humans)

- entered "Bravais pendulum" because I knew the question I wanted answered (thank you, B R-D).

- saw a small number of entries for lattice which I could immediately discount as unrelated. But on the right a reference to other sources:

Text from Wikisource
Catholic Encyclopedia (1913) / Systems of the Universe
A conical pendulum was set in motion by Bravais in the same meridian room of the observatory and in the same year as the vertical pendulum of Foucault ..
See all results

A donation to the volunteers would be money better spent if we want meaningful answers.

But the second point I was attempting was: will new creative ideas come from this ? To be fair, I wasn't being original, just borrowing a theme from a hugely creative mind that might have written:

Person A: Is my p***s big enough ? Pic attached.

Marvin: <sigh> Brain the size of a planet and they ask me questions about life's minutiae.

I will re-lurk now ..
