Google auto-complete has reached psychic levels of prediction
|
So i was watching a channel awesome video on youtube, and in it they briefly mentioned that the original star wars trailer was awful. I was curious so i started to type in the search box, O ... R ... I ... and boom; auto-complete comes up with "original star wars trailer". That is some seriously insane levels of prediction.
Video mentioning the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJzRhUVupPE Star wars trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP_1T4ilm8M Try watching the first and see if google can predict your next search. For years i searched for deep truths. A thousand revelations. At the very edge...the ability to think itself dissolves away.Thinking in human language is the problem. Any separation from 'the whole truth' is incomplete.My incomplete concepts may add to your 'whole truth', accept it or think about it Last edited by SkyCore on Apr 12, 2016, 2:34:49 PM Last bumped on Apr 14, 2016, 10:06:12 AM

They're finding links that aren't necessarily html links. Measuring everyone's behaviour (as long as it's all under the google umbrella or between sites with google tracking enabled) presents the links clear as day.
I first noticed it when I went to a reddit thread: - Thread link was to a youtube video of someone covering Jimmy Hendrix - Comments in thread talked about other people's covers and the original - Started typing the name of some other cover into youtube and got the full autocomplete Presumably lots of other people went down the same logical route that I did, probably from the same set of events. On one hand, pretty awesome tech. On the other, internet-wide tracking still gives me the heebie jeebies. | |

or more likely has reached market penetration levels that everything you type in google is an indexed key word people are paying for to promote through tools like auto-complete; or possibly it is that memetic culture and advertising enterprise go together like water and dihydrogen monoxide
Hey...is this thing on?

" Considering that they scan everything they can get their hands on, (including emails sent through Gmail) I'm not surprised. I'd wish they would come up with a better (personalized) system of auto correct that adapts to a person's particular typing idiosyncrasies.

The Search engine takes stuff you've checked out and uses it to guess and predict what you'd probably search in next. It's kinda similar to autocomplete after a long time on your phones tbh...

"Tried. Google failed. Had to type "original star wars t" to get it display that. And worst change is putting almost all bosses in new version of maps into fucking small areas, where you can't kite well or dodge stuff. What a terrible idiot invented that I want say to him: dude flick you, seriously flick you very much.

Google has been buying companies doing artificial intellect research for years. They'll just rename to Skynet at some point :P
The Wheel of Nerfs turns, and builds come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the build that gave it birth comes again.

setting cookies to block and prompt every time (which you confirm to block) severely limits google's omnipotence. Also don't click on the sponsored links with the colored backgrounds to further limit the research they are gathering from your search
