Would you get life advice from Google or from a human?

Well, which human?<p>If it costs $150 to see a doctor and ask a question, I&#x27;ll probably google webmd first. I mean, Search aggregates millions of humans in one page. But we&#x27;re not talking Search but Generative AI<p>So not on your life. AI can&#x27;t tell Truth from a hole in the ground. I&#x27;d rather read through listicles all day. Bleagh.

I&#x27;m certainly not going to take life advice from Google regardless of whether AI is involved or not -- although the more any company trusts AI, the less I trust that company.<p>I&#x27;m very unlikely to take advice from any AI unless it is obviously good advice on its face.<p>If I&#x27;m in need of advice, I want to get it from a human. Preferably a human who knows me well and whose judgement I trust. In the absence of that, then a paid professional will do.

Performed a search for &quot;google biased search results&quot; here&#x27;s one result... <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dogpile.com&#x2F;serp?q=google+biased+search+results&amp;page=2&amp;sc=Rt9rJLhKJTUh00" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dogpile.com&#x2F;serp?q=google+biased+search+results&amp;...</a> I believe Google `tweak&#x27; results to favour companies that reward Google in return.
