> How many people will never again trust Google's AI because they know Google is eager to bias the results?
Seems like hyperbole.
Probably literally no one is offended to the point that they will never trust google again by this.
People seem determined to believe that google will fail and want google to fail; and they may; but this won’t cause it.
It’ll just be a wave in the ocean.
People have short memories.
In 6 months no one will even care; there will some other new drama to complain about.
The real surprise is that anyone trusted google about anything in the first place.
140dB at 12mm is equivalent to 100db at 1000mm. So that's 20dB less than an "ambulance" or "jackhammer" as listed here[0]. Which definitely would make the article misleading.
