If you really think that's all they're doing then you have very little understanding in just how subtly awesome some of the stuff they're doing is. Peter Norvi

  Peter Norvig says exactly what I said in that video. He says it when he says "... but the computer doesn't understand physics." Why not? The internet knows a hell of a lot more physics than I do. The statistical stuff is cool, but all you can do with it is fancy accounting. You can never really pull out meaning .. and doing real analogical / inductive reasoning on statistical data sets is hard. You'll notice that suggestion (4) can only be considered doable because the internet has easily accessible APIs to determine who is real and what organizations they belong to. While suggestion (5) is not feasible at all at the moment.
