So how is this thing supposed to work?
My understanding is that you ask it a question and it basically tells you an answer, rather than pointing you to links that may contain the answer you're looking for.
I have a lot of questions about how the "curate" their data, and how they deal with intentionally incorrect information. Would someone have to comb through each piece of data and check for accuracy? That would never be possible. Maybe it would return answers in a citation format? Like, it would return an answer addressing a multitude of possible answers and have citations for each piece of information so you could do your own fact checking.
Pretty interesting, and I'm looking forward to seeing it in action, but I don't see how this could ever be built or maintained in a practical way. For instance, with medical information, there are constantly studies that suggest something may be true, and within a few years you'll have other studies that publish contradictory information, or information that disproves the first study. To make all the connections and weight the answer to suggest the most recent or least biased information would be impossible.
One thing I find interesting would be the use of this as a customer service tool. For instance, I could go to the Dell website and I could use something like this to address customer support, rather than digging through forums, FAQs and guides.
