14 years ago, I sat down with a representative from Wolfram|Alpha, which billed itself as a “computational knowledge engine.” But Wolfram|Alpha is back in the news now, as one of the first “https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt-plugins” for ChatGPT, https://www.techmeme.com/230323/p25#a230323p25 by OpenAI. Wolfram|Alpha is a so-called “symbolic AI” engine, which means it tries to emulate the way a human brain learns.

But becoming a ChatGPT plugin has finally given Wolfram|Alpha the simple, accurate user interface it has always lacked.

Indeed, he claimed that the language Wolfram|Alpha was built in, a proprietary language called Wolfram Language, has already achieved that.
