Comment on In heat

Because that’s the normal way in which humans communicate.

But for Google more specifically, that sort of keyword prompts is how you searched stuff in the '00s… Nowadays the search prompt actually understands natural language, and even has features like “people also ask” that are related to this.

All in all, do whatever works for you, it’s just that asking questions isn’t bad.

Google is not a human so why would you communicate with it as if it were a human? unlike chatgpt it’s not designed to answer questions, it’s designed to search for words on webpages

  I spend most of my time communicating with humans so I’m generally better at that then communicating with algorithms.

    Do you think you were born knowing what search terms are?

  Except Google has been optimizing for natural language questions for the last decade or so. Try it sometime, it’s really wild

  Because we’re human, and that’s a human-made tool. It’s made to fit us and our needs, not the other way around. And in case you’ve missed the last decade, it actually does it rather well.
