"Google spokeswoman Susan Cadrecha said the company’s goal isn’t to do the thinking for users but “to help you find relevant information quickly and easily.” She added, “We encourage users to understand the full context by clicking through to the source.”"
I sincerely hope no one is relying on Google to do the thinking for them.
- k2xl 9y agoI sincerely hope no one is either - but why should Google even pretend to know the answer to something? How is the average, non-technical person supposed to assume that Google won't give an accurate answer to a medical question?
- mousa 9y agoWhy shouldn't they? I personally like the answers and use them often if I'm trying to find a fact, like when someone famous was born. If someone is going to blindly trust Google without verifying and google doesn't try to answer, they'll probably just trust whatever site is listed first anyways... I see no harm in Google guessing.
