    Because that’s what it’s designed for? I’m curious what else it could be good for. A machine capable of independent, intelligent research sounds like a totally different invention entirely.

      It’s sort of like the communication aspect of it isn’t the sole purpose of it. It’s as if we invented computers but the only thing we cared about was the monitor and the keyboard.

      We want it to DO things. Stick to the truth, not just placate.

        Didn’t realize that. The only applications I’ve seen for it are conversation or generating media based on text input. I thought all it did was analyze text and create a response based on patterns it had observed.

        I haven’t done much with it myself though so that’s probably a very limited POV.
