    They are “media transformers” and might be useful if limited to it.

    Knowledge retrieval certainly not, as “they” know nothing besides how likely one data fragment is to appear near other data fragments.

      Perhaps I’m using the wrong terminology. But being able to ask in natural language “why is something the way it is” and it returns references to code, bugs, and documentation along with a small summary is pretty cool. It works better than any of the half-baked corporate search engines I’ve used before. Is this not “knowledge retrieval”? In any case I can see the utility.

        I’ve tested it with both python and Cisco iOS pretty thoroughly and it very convincingly gets things wrong a lot.
