If the searcher doesn’t have a good answer to a question, it says “There don’t seem to be many good results for this search.”
The Google search engine will stop answering stupid questions in an effort to improve the service. This was reported by The Guardian.
Text snippets, sometimes appearing as answers to direct questions on a search engine, allow the search engine to satisfy search queries without taking visitors to other sites. But snippets that are automatically generated from website content become problematic.
For example, in 2017, the company was accused of spreading “fake news” after a search query “Did Obama plan a coup?” Artificial intelligence told users: “In fact, Obama may be planning a communist takeover at the end of his term in 2016.” Google found this information on a site with conspiracy theories.
Pandu Nayak, head of search at the company, said they have trained their systems to better identify these types of false positives. Thanks to this update, the display of recommended snippets in these cases has been reduced by 40%.
This means users should see fewer answers to questions like “When did Snoopy kill Abraham Lincoln?” that the search engine once answered “1865”. It’s the right date, but not the right kill.
It was previously reported that automatic Ukrainian subtitles appeared on the popular video hosting YouTube.
