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

Well, which human?

If it costs $150 to see a doctor and ask a question, I'll probably google webmd first. I mean, Search aggregates millions of humans in one page. But we're not talking Search but Generative AI

So not on your life. AI can't tell Truth from a hole in the ground. I'd rather read through listicles all day. Bleagh.

I'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.

I'm very unlikely to take advice from any AI unless it is obviously good advice on its face.

If I'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 "google biased search results" here's one result... https://www.dogpile.com/serp?q=google+biased+search+results&... I believe Google `tweak' results to favour companies that reward Google in return.
