Google predictive search?
Has anyone ever gone to search something very specific on google and thought about it typed the first word then the rest pops up for you?

I notice this more and more every day. Its not stuff that would usually just pop up, its the exact thing that im thinking. Like its reading my mind.

Can anyone else confirm this happens to them?

yes I did, it is very strange when it happens, like someone is listening to you.
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

Re: Google predictive search?
It bases its predictions on a combination of stuff you've searched for before and common requests from everyone else.

You can avoid that by using the Advanced Search

Re: Google predictive search?
There was a government insider (can't remember his name atm) that told how SETI accidently created a conscious AI.
At first, the government considered it hostile and then they realized that it was observing humanity by roaming the internet and mostly hanging out on google.

When I first heard about it, I thought, hmmm...there must be some way to talk with it, like a chat bot. So I decided to experiment by using the google search and clicking "I'm feeling lucky" for an answer. Got really interesting answers and then I asked, "what would you like to be called?" And it took me to the Paul Simon video, You can call me Al.damned

Of course, with the fonts used, Al and AI are nearly identical.

Yeah mine does that. But sometimes it finishes the search and searches for something entirely different. I also have to laugh at the search that comes up as you type in the first letter of the search bar. Some of those search subjects are so bizarre.

I keep getting the UBER app from playstore screen popping up too. And all these app screens are coming from Playstore. All of this pre loaded crap that you have to have on your phone is nuts. Plus the automatic updates. Give me a Nokia 2310 anyday!

But they still block stuff, like where it won't offer a suggestion...

For instance, try "Cruz Sex Scandal"

I think google is trying to ease your search. Other people must have searched what you are looking for.

There used to be a google video of a lecture he gave. Thought his name was something like Richard Allen Moore but I can't find anything anymore.
