You're clearly a smart person but I'd argue that the people designing this nonsense are also smart -- which leads me to believe that they've made it "terrible"

You're clearly a smart person but I'd argue that the people designing this nonsense are also smart -- which leads me to believe that they've made it "terrible" on purpose -- which makes me dislike them more.
- hnuser1234 9y agoI've been noticing the same. I seem to get the most obtuse interpretation of my queries instead of the most contextually relevant one, until I add additional terms to get it to "realize" which idea I was going for, instead of showing multiple interpretations at once. I thought we were supposed to be getting better at this, not worse.
- ballenf 9y agoDefinitely true. "Terrible" here means longer engagement, when what we want is efficient engagement. But efficiency has little time for ads... (Side note, your comment read to me like something Douglas Adams could have written about bureaucrats on a far away planet. That twist at the end that summarizes the entire issue in a few words. Well done!)
