While I agree the model is a huge compressed database of written human text, I think its a stretch to call much of what was scrape off the internet as knowledge and I don't personally see it as using language as a query language.

I expect a query language to be deterministic, and I expect the other end of the query to only return data that actually exists. LLMs are neither of those, so to me they are impressive natural language engines but they aren't ready a tool for querying human knowledge.
