Humans are no longer needed.  ....Except to BUY stuff.  Here are a few dots that very likely connect to that article, imo.

QuoteNeural networks are not only driving the Google search engine but spitting out art for which some people will pay serious money.

Wow... from the article on Go

QuoteThe IBM chess computer Deep Blue, which famously beat grandmaster Garry Kasparov in 1997, was explicitly programmed to win at the game. But AlphaGo was not preprogrammed to play Go: rather, it learned using a general-purpose algorithm that allowed it to interpret the game's patterns, in a similar way to how a DeepMind program learned to play 49 different arcade games.

I've always said that eventually links would have to go away as a primary ranking signal, but that it would require AI that could read and evaluate sources as well as an expert in the field. That may be coming sooner than I thought.

IMFO

I want total control over how I search.

Don't want G or any other Corporation making decisions for me.

The More Tabs the better.

Back eons ago, I made my first $1000s/mo on hotel bookings ('Course, toolman was making $10ks/mo on pharm). Stuff like this would have nuked my revenue stream.
