You can tell that they’ve started using AI to generate the “people also search for” section in search results. Recently there’s been an uptick in complete nonsense like “how to cook a coffee grinder on the barbecue” and other such things that… quite frankly I have a hard time believing anyone on earth has ever searched.
- chaxor 3y agoSorry about that. It was probably me. Sometimes you just want to figure out a cheap way to make a coffee roaster and can't figure out how to frame the right keywords search to the search. \/s

- morkalork 3y agoBut often enough to be a recommendation? If you're parroting real search queries I'd expect a minimum threshold for occurrences.
- Filligree 3y agoSeems unlikely, yes. I don't know how they generate the recommendations, but maybe some form of user grouping? Combined with whatever you actually searched for, you could fall into a tiny bucket indeed. A minimum threshold should eliminate that, yes. The fact you got it anyway suggests that there isn't one, or else... people really are trying to cook coffee on their barbeque a lot more than you'd expect.
