Could GPT-3 lower barriers of entry for search engines? Assuming, it could update its "index" (weights) at regular intervals, it's not too far-fetched to see it competing with Google with high-quality relevant answers to queries.

I've tried asking GPT-3 factual questions and sometimes it does great. Other times, well... let's just say it doesn't quite understand. Bad answers are in italics.
Q: How tall is the Eiffel Tower? A: About twenty feet.
Q: What color are the clouds? A: They're a light blue.
Q: Which way does the sun rise in Paris? A: You'd have to be standing on top of a building to see it because it doesn't rise that high.
Q: Who invented the telephone? A: Alexander Graham Bell.
Q: Who invented Google? A: Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
Q: What's the capital of California? A: It's not located in California. It's Sacramento.
There are some works resonate with your idea, here's the first one I can recall.
