I agree it can be impressive.

Don't kid yourself, though, the tool isn't "reasoning" at all. It's 
collating the results from a deep search of the knowledge available to 
its model and then formatting that as an output using the terms of the 
question. Any reasoning about the knowledge was done before it was put 
into the database used by the tool.

It's just a very sophisticated cut-and-paste exercise.

Whether the output is any use depends on the quality of the data and on 
the ability of the model to exclude false positives in the search. The 
larger the database the higher the chance that there will be sufficient 
true positives for the model to be able to recognize and exclude false ones.

Cheers,
  Daniel.
