Remember this? “We should stop training radiologists now. It's just completely obvious that within five years, deep learning is going to do better than radiologists.” Geoffrey Hinton, 2016 (while working for Google). I speculate that they weren't caught off guard. More likely, they tried to find a real-life application for their AI, and failed. Improving the quality of search is not in their interests (in fact, it's the contrary)
