    First (and only) attempt to use it produces a query way off base.

    I'd go into details, but frankly I've gotten bored with GPT because in literally every case where I ask it to produce some statement of fact (as opposed to generate pleasant-sounding nonsense, at which it excels) it comes back with something either obviously wrong, or perhaps sort of correct (but ultimately inadequately so).

    Not sure if this is working. I asked it “how many people identify as Jedi” and it produced a query to calculate male/female ratios…
