#GoogleSuggestedQuestions

2024-05-03

Eigentlich hatte mich nur interessiert, wie sich das Konzept von täglichen Releases mit einem sauberen Change Management verbinden lassen könnte.

Aber Google hat mal wieder beschlossen, mich fertig zu machen...

#DailyRelease #Google #GoogleSearch #GoogleSearchSuggestion #GoogleSuggestedQuestions #GoogleSuggestions

Ein Suchfeld mit vorgeschlagenen Suchbegriffen. Im Suchfeld wurde "daily release" eingegeben. Als erstes wird "daily release of sperm is good or bad" gefolgt von "daily release of sperm" vorgeschlagen.

I think the reason why #GoogleSuggestedQuestions falsely attributes this line to #Gandhi is because the information is from the #BritishMedicalJournal and #Google thinks the BMJ is trustworthy but the search engine can't compute that the journal is an authority on medicine, not #quotes. Google also fails to differentiate between opinion and #PeerReview.

Google should "know" that #WikiQuote and #QuoteInvestigator are much better at this.

Like the @neilhimself quote:

I did a #Google search for *nintendo store london*.

#GoogleSuggestedQuestions had a very helpful iteration of this:

> Is there a physical Nintendo store in London?

The answer:

> Nintendo has opened its own shop at the heart of the UK's busiest High Street[...]

If you are on a desktop computer you might notice this quotes a story from 2011, on mobile there is no date. Not helpful at all.

Real answer seems to be "no".

Imagine people using this for serious stuff.

#GoogleSuggestedQuestions are notoriously bad but they can be quite funny.

I tried searching for "Why is Google so useless". Among the suggested questions were

What search engine is better than Google?

#1 – DuckDuckGO*

Why is Google worse now?

Among the issues has been the increase of AI-generated pages...
