Thank you, but it still remains all quite abstract for me. Even "I do
not know" is an answer.

And if the answer offered is instead "6" or "No" or "A dog", how do I
know on what the system's opinion is based, what is the degree of
accuracy, what understanding of the context it embodies?

Am I getting an automatically-generated wikipedia? A problem solver? A
natural-language search engine?
