A lot of inaccuracies and mixing up of categorically different things, one sentence it’s talking about, from an implied early realization that search data could used for machine learning and then implying it has something to do with the Page Rank Algorithm. I think Rank Brain was one of the first uses of ML as a signal for Google Search and that didn’t happen until 2015, 18 years later. It sort of reads as something trying to invent a top down narrative for what was in reality a haphazard and unplanned for slow evolution of many pivots over nearly two decades.
