This isn't because Google's language model is stupid, but because it's trying to give you what it thinks you meant rather than give you precisely what you put in the search bar.
- kbenson 5y agoThe problem here is that unlike the "did you mean to search for" text that makes it obvious that they're showing you what they thought you were looking for in regular search results, they're not doing something like that here, and it's unclear if that's because their model is so loose that they don't actually have knowledge that this is what they're doing (i.e. it's baked in), or if it's just an oversight. The former is a problem because it promulgates incorrect information and provides veracity to mistakes and misconceptions, and if it's the latter, why wasn't it fixed long ago?
