The thing with GPT AIs like what's currently hyped is that it's 
essentially just piecing together sentences on the basis of "in all the 
training data, what was the most likely follow-up word". IN particular, 
they do not follow any reasoning or do any semantic analysis whatsoever.

This is great for writing speeches.
It's also great for boilerplate code.

It's bad for accuracy. It essentially depends on the quality of the 
training data, and since these GPT bots need humongous amounts of 
training, that's typically "just the Internet". (The companies behind 
these bots try to filter out nonsense, with a focus on avoiding public 
outcry, which tends to create even more humorous results.)
