I've played a little with these tools and they can be fun, but they are dumb really. Bear in mind that people were impressed by [Eliza](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA) 60 years ago!

I'm sure people are working to build some knowledge of how the world works into these models so that their answers make more sense. They are likely to get a lot better. There are probably models for specific purposes that are far better than the free online versions.

I see people slag off the technology, but it's still early days and it won't go away if there is money to be made.
