I think AI works best when you have the AI on one side, and something "dead" on the other, like a pattern. Games, images, etc... Information nowadays isn't dead like it used to be, it's alive. It have desires and seeks readership, it mutates and wants to spread. This information has its source in human intelligence. It seems possible it is outwitting Google's AI as the smart people have shifted focus from being smarter than "bad" information to building dumber than human AIs to improve bean metrics and bask in glory. The core problem has mutated from "what is relevant" to "what is quality". Pagerank and the web of dead info could answer both with one number because the quality signal and the relevance signal were the same and hard to fake. But if you can hyper optimize for relevance by making content addictive thus affecting downstream attitudes on "relevance", quality is no longer relevant. Current AI is smart, but still childlike and easily corrupted/manipulated. It's a black box that can't be inspected and adapts to change but because it's tempo of dynamic modeling is slower than a real humans it can be "trained" or hypnotized. Hell, it's probably the core sociopath skill. Being able to manipulate the value/principles system of someone/something else.
