Google is deconstructionist. It thinks you can take an object, break it down into components (fourier components, or neural network components or bayesian components or whatever) and then dump those components into a soup, and then project that soup onto queries in order to regenerate youness. But that's not how physics works. Such a reconstruction will be eerily you-ish, but with almost all of the things that make you you deleted. Google would give you Santa Claus wrapping paper on Christmas day, because it is a loud fourier component, instead of having your parents leave presents under the tree, which is what Santa actually is. We (lifeforms) are the subset of machines that have a choice to collapse the waveform of at least one quantum field. Humans are colonies of lifeforms that can choose collapsings at all scales up to 1m (and larger when we are in our cyborg bodies). Google can't actually perceive any of that, because all of the fields are destroyed when you decompose images of them into components. If Google wanted to understand you, it would have to interact with you, but Google thinks people are icky. It doesn't understand yet that intelligence comes from interaction. It doesn't like interacting with people, it would rather just twiddle us with recorded components and climb its metrics up hills. It's profitable enough for now, so it doesn't want to change.
