I found out that Google itself is totally A.I. I recently used Google to find out whether a grove of somewhat rare trees (native California Sycamores) that I had remembered from my childhood (during WW2) was still in existence. I described the area, as it had been back then (with a cliffside bunker near a beach in southern California, with artillery lest a Japanese ship, aircraft carrier, or submarine attack--a real threat back then.) Google told me that the grove still existed, was now in fact part of a California State Park, with the grove protected by state law. It went on to praise me for remembering something so vividly after so many years. (I was convinced then, that Google was manned by humans, so I Googled Google.) It answered that it was absolutely inhuman, with no feelings whatsoever, and that it was programmed to guess what the questioner might want to hear.
