    Google actually pulls results from web pages.

    you know how some smartphone keyboards predict the next word that you’re going to use, and you can form a comprehensible sentence that sometimes even makes sense by simply tapping the next word on the prediction bar over and over? that’s what those language models do. they don’t actually search for anything, they just create sequences of words that sound probable.

      It seems that Bing chat bot searches then reads the results and gives you the answer.

      I know it’s basically predictive text but if the prompt contains a relevant info then the predictive text is likely to be the answer you’re looking for so it works well.
