Maybe people using Google should start to apply some common sense and not believe everything at face value. Nevertheless, the examples you cite are extremes that affect only few people. So you would rather have no internet search engines at all, so that those problems could be avoided?
Isn't that a bit like saying cars are crap because people die in accidents? Maybe there are just upsides and downsides to most new technologies, and if the upsides outweigh the downsides by far, people will go for it?
As for human intelligence, I am not convinced humans would necessarily fare better at such tasks. I mean they fall for the "same name, same person" fallacy.
- thedevelopnik 5y ago“Google should not use badly trained beta ML to guess which person in the world with this name is a serial killer” is not “there should be no search engines.” Google was very successful with the latter for a long time before they started in on the former.
