“How else did folks think it was able to be so predictive to do things like tell me how much time to home?”
Or all of the ads that keep coming up for sunglasses. (I wish it was smart enough to know I already bought the pair I had been searching for!)
Another, perhaps bigger thing. We don’t truly have “freedom” in our internet searches. They point you towards relevant articles based on your previous searches, so it has already made up its “mind” on what it is going to tell you.
Some guy tried it out. He did a search on something (say “China”) and it came back with all sorts of political stuff, Nixon trips, etc. He did a search using his girlfriend’s computer and it came back with cultural and anthropology stuff.
Of course doing a more specific search might be better. Like “China sex tours for midgets”.

It might help to know if your seeking a Chinese midget or you, yourself are a midget and are looking to go to China on a sex tour. The GOOGLE AI isn't that smart yet.
