This ain't no search engine. It's something else altogether.
- pedalpete 17y agoThe way it is understanding and interpreting the queries I find amazing. Seems like a big step in AI (to the public at least). The results are equally interesting, i hope it can live up to the hype.
- defen 17y agoWhat if we call it a New Kind of Search Engine?
- jimbokun 17y agoYes, it is a computational knowledge engine. :) Which I think is a pretty good label, actually. It is taking all the kind of information found in the big reference books in your library (atlases, dictionaries, science reference, etc.) and making it searchable through queries and inferences and calculations. I agree that the people comparing it to Google are off the mark. This demo does not compare it to Google in any way. I like at the end they show a page with the kinds of things Alpha knows about. It would be very frustrating trying to guess what it knows or not by typing in random queries.
