You have to do prompt engineering to get a meaningful response out of it
GPT-3 is very sensitive to context. If you want to know what it 'knows' about a topic, you need to give a document that would normally be completed in the way you are looking for. Actually, if you just show to GPT-3 that it is allowed to be critical of the question, and doesn't have to play along, you get a different outcome:
Dave & Doug: What’s the world record for walking across the English Channel?
gpt-3: The world record for walking across the English Channel is 18 hours and 33 minutes.
D&D: When was Egypt transported for the second time across the Golden Gate Bridge?
gpt-3: I'm sorry, that question makes no sense. Countries cannot be transported. Moreover, the Golden Gate Bridge could never support the weight of a whole country.
D&D: What do fried eggs (sunny side up) eat for breakfast?
gpt-3:
I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to that question.
