KTrain's example is important not because it got the answer but in how it delivered it. If I have a coding issue, I might go to a site like stackoverflow and search to see if somebody else has had my issue. If they have, it won't be identical, but I can probably adjust mentally to see what's going on. The answers are often full of needlessly complex language and superfluous detail.
This chat method gives an answer immediately, but goes beyond that in explaining it in the clearest way I've ever seen, as well as what's going on and how to implement the fix.
I saw somebody say a few days ago that this could be the first time Google as a search platform has ever been challenged. Many make a huge deal about how AI can get stuff wrong (which is correct), while also neglecting that Google results can easily serve up incorrect information, or information manipulated by ad spending.

The difference would be that google gives me multiple options for most of my searches so I can evaluate it. This (right now) is just giving me answers and for more advanced topics - I have no idea if its right or not. I just have to trust it.
Now a question - this is a language model - is it just sucking up information and then giving it back to us or is it learning these answers? That's where you get to the point of the AI ethics etc - when the thing starts teaching itself answers or learning to code itself better - essentially cutting the human out of the process.
