As far as I know they are using Bing. They've started building their own search index last year in a partnership with Qwant.

It find it unfortunate that you are unwilling to continue this discussion. I can only recommend to you to read more deeply about this topic in order to form a well founded and critical opinion, before judging things you do not seem to comprehend sufficiently.

Let me know as soon as you'd like to continue this matter. I am always open for a good discussion and good arguments.

(I am not sorry for "necroing", sometimes I'm just not in the mood and/or don't have the time to reply to various comments. But that's the beauty of discussion platforms: it's always possible to pick it up at a later time.)

Well, in that case I wonder why you were criticising the field of AI. Doesn't seem to be substantiated.

Is it though? By which definition?

What is "thinking critically about thoughts"?
And what is an "independent thought"? Aren't our brains not just reacting to sensory inputs and dictated by the way our brains are wired?

Maybe we should go even further and clarify what a "thought" even is.

Are animals, who lack the higher cognitive functions, that humans have, therefore not "intelligent"? Are mentally impaired people no longer to be considered "intelligent"? If so, where is the line to be drawn? What are the specific definitions and criteria to correctly distinguish intelligence from non- or pseudo-intelligence?

Not my wording, but the one from the paper I have linked.

True. AI doesn't fuck children.

Yeah sure, if someone does not fit in with the team and it's a rather social job, fair enough.

But using something arbitrary like favouring some sports team, even though this served as an example, this doesn't seem to be either a significant nor sufficient decision basis.

Imagine this, very good grades, strong portfolio and work experience, just to be at the mercy of some random person who rejects you for highly arbitrary reasons like favouring another sports team.
Then you get a default rejection mail, saying they have very carefully considered your application and wish you good luck in your future endeavours.

Fuck this system.

Aren't they already doing that?
