This conversation is unfolding nicely. Sorry for the sarcasm... I'll say what I mean: I think we can strive to treat even poorly phrased questions as an opportunity.

Narrowly, yes, Google search seems to be behaving roughly as well (or poorly, depending on your point of view) nowadays. But I get the feeling saying "Google search" isn't a helpful response to the person asking the question.

Helpful response: there are thousands of productionized AI systems that have existed long before ChatGPT. For example, google search.

The context of the question suggests the questioner is talking about AI technology at the level of ChatGPT —- large language models —- and the associated technological complexities around them.

Subtopics might include differences between managing state and sessions of a text search engine versus a large language model
