It would not surprise me if comp-sci departments now offer a major in writing GPT queries. Today's AI wranglers might be writing queries that range from a few words to a many pages of text. They're also having a conversation with it to refine their query. It's more than google.com circa 2005. Many of us spent years learning how to get better results from Google more often, after all. I don't have a problem with skepticism about it. Call it a parlor trick all day long, tell me it's not *truly* intelligent, but you should also examine it enough to get to the point where you'll say "that's truly an amazing and perhaps sometimes very useful parlor trick." - John
