You've sullied my quick answer:

The assistant figures it out though:

Maybe that's why ai had trouble determining anything about AJ & the movie Heat, because she's wasn't even in it!

We all know how AI has made things worse, but here's some context on how it's outright backwards.

Early search engines had a context problem. To use an example from "Halt and Catch Fire", if you search for "Texas Cowboy", do you mean the guys on horseback driving a herd of cows, or do you mean the football team? If you search for "Dallas Cowboys", should that bias the results towards a different answer? Early, naive search engines gave bad results for cases like that. Spat out whatever keywords happen to hit the most.

Sometimes, it was really bad. In high school, I was showing a history teacher how to use search engines, and he searched for "China golden age". All results were asian porn. I think we were using Yahoo.

AltaVista largely solved the context problem. We joke about its bad results now, but it was one of the better search engines before Google PageRank.

Now we have AI unsolving the problem.

A statistical model predicted that "in heat" with no upper-case H nor quotes, was more likely to refer to the biological condition. Don't get me wrong: I think these things are dumb, but that was a fully predictable result. ('...the movie "Heat"' would probably get you there).

google strips capitalization from searches

It's not just any human though, it's an actor, so movie related words should statistically be more likely.

Why is the search query in the top and bottom different?

Google correction does not reflect in the tab name; genuinely happens

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Heat is an excellent movie, and one of my top five. Coincidentally, I just watched it last night. For a film released in 1998, it has aged well. OOP is in the ballpark, too - a young Natalie Portman is in it, not Jolie.

In short: BONK

It probably thought you were Elon Musk.
