This thing is (atleast) an extremely good general natural language understanding engine. It's very useful for parsing natural language. It can replace a ton of specially made parses and NERs etc with zero extra training. This is a very useful building block we didn't have before. I don't get why ppl are focusing on the chat aspects so much.

A natural language understanding engine that _makes things up_ is not extremely good.

I'm talking about the understanding part. I would not use it to generate responses but to parse natural language to a structure you can use progrematically. From my experience it doesn't make things up for this sort of tasks
