I'm not convinced that it's doing any better than just doing keyword searches for question and answer terms and taking the answer with the highest match percent

  Indeed, I did several questions all intended to be simple variations of the main examples. It did not give a coherent-sounding to any of them. But it looks like responds to the example with full paragraphs. Maybe it's real but coherent 10% of the time and they recorded the questions that yield coherent answers.

    Removing brittleness is a key research area for reasoning systems like this.

  Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're right. I've asked a dozen or so questions, of for every one of them I've gotten an answer that seems related to to the words in the question, but not in any logical way: Q: What's the difference between a proton and a neutron? A: Atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Q: What trajectory do planetary orbits follow? A: Kepler's laws of planetary motion describe the orbits of objects about the Sun. Q: How do you measure the charge of an electron? A: Electrons have negative charge. Q: What conservation law is the result of the time invariance of physics? A: As a result, the law of conservation of energy has been changed into the Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy. None with high confidence of course, but it gives you a sense of roughly the sort of 'reasoning' this thing is doing.
