OpenAI openly and knowingly, and Microsoft even more, presents ChatGPT as a way to get facts.

  Now what I think would be interesting if one can use ChatGPT or whatever to distill any kind of document into a series of factoids. Say you give it the Wikipedia article about a famous person and it will extract stuff like "born: 1949-01-30" and associate it with the name of the person. Later on, a user asks an AI "when was Foo Bar born?", and the AI then looks up the factoid database and responds with the correct factoid, or an error message.

    Note that a lot of the information on Wikipedia is available as a structured knowledge graph already: https://wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page https://wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page

      For Wikipedia, yes, but I only used that as an example. There's tons of stuff one could build factoids from.
