You’re missing the entire point the op was making.
The fact that these queries are correct are not because that is the intent of chatgpt’s “query engine” it because it just so happens to have been fed data that synthesizes to something sane this time (vs confident crap any other time).
Compare this to a database where queries are realized against an actual corpus of data to give actual answers.
The purpose of Chatgpt is to provide fluent gibberish when given a prompt. It’s a LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL. It’s only able to give you response that looks good for a language (over a distribution or words), not anything actually knowledgeable.
