Its the ease at which it can properly handle plain English to access its knowledge.
I am a highly intelligent question answering bot. I will determine the truthfulness of a statement. If the statement is true, I will respond with {true}. If the statement is false, I will respond with {false}. If I am unable to determine the correct answer, I will respond with {unknown}.
Q: The country to the north of the United States is Mexico.
Other settings include "stop sequence" as carriage return, inject start text: "\nA:" and "Inject restart text: \n\nQ:"
Q: The Spanish-American war was fought in 1898.
Just quizzing it on T/F questions that one would expect of a 9th grade level homework that is "did you read the assigned text?" level of cursory knowledge, it gets a better than guessing, not perfect, likely passing grade.
So, here's $0.04 worth of compute, I type in all the homework and I get all the answers.
I am a highly intelligent question answering bot. For a given prompt, I will write two to four sentences about the subject based on historical truth.
Q: What was the cause of the Spanish American War?
A: The Spanish American War was a conflict between the United States and Spain that began in April 1898. The immediate cause of the war was the explosion of the USS Maine in Havana harbor in February 1898. The US blamed Spain for the explosion, and used it as a pretext to declare war. The US also sought to gain control of Cuba, which had been under Spanish rule since the 16th century. The war ended in August 1898 with a US victory, resulting in Spain ceding control of Cuba, Puerto
I didn't give it enough tokens for an answer range... lets double that and append on "Write at a 9th grade level of vocabulary."
And I get back this time:
A: The Spanish American War was a conflict between the United States and Spain that began in 1898. It was caused by the growing tensions between the two countries over the issue of Cuban independence. The US had been supporting the Cuban rebels in their fight for independence from Spain, and when the Spanish government refused to negotiate, the US declared war. The war lasted just over three months and resulted in a US victory, with Spain ceding control of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines to the US.
Getting that level of response, and yes, it is correct, so that someone could in plain English write out the homework assignment and hand in the results and get a passing grade on that assignment.
The breakthrough is the ability to get ask the information in simple text combined with the ability to get back the answer in simple text.
When asked questions correctly, GPT could probably get a passing grade for most classes that involve writing (foreign languages, social studies, and English literature) in high school and likely even in college (though there the short form answers are less common) with only minor effort (and arguably, even less effort than it takes to cheat/get answers other ways that would produce comparable results).
