Carole Cadwalladr's points are well taken. I tried the queries myself when I saw these articles and got the same results she did. Apparently Google is listening, since some of these results have been changed. Was it a manual fix? So, Google's results are the output of an algorithm, except when they're not? Who decides which results will be manually fixed? And fixed how? I think many, if not most, Internet users do treat search results as authoritative, even though the cognoscendi know they're not intended to be. The real question is, can this situation ever be fixed in the general case? Reporting what is "true," and not just popular. I doubt it. Some things are clearly not true, but what is true? That's the biggest AI problem ever.
