How Does Google Know?
How is it that Google knows what I'm thinking about searching for before I type it out?
For instance, I was just browsing picture galleries on another website and I stopped at a certain picture of a fish that had teeth similar to human teeth. I opened up a new tab to search the name of the fish. Before I could finish typing the words in the search bar, the very FIRST suggestion was 'fish with human teeth'. I had only finished typing 'fish w' and it already knew what I was currently thinking in my head.
I'm curious now and want to experiment.
Type fish w and see if you get the same first suggestion.

Tracking your searches.


Wait till it starts popping up ads for things you were conversing about with colleagues.

They know just about everything were doing online.

You think youre really incognito just because it says so?

I could see that is was tracking my seaerches, if it was something I had already searched for. This was a phrase that was in my head, something I have never in my life searched for. I was even thinking of what to even search for. "fish with human teeth". It preemptively returned the suggestion that was in my head before I completed typing (in the dropdown suggestion list) before i even hit enter. Wouldn't the more common suggestion be 'fish with chips'?
scanning my thoughts through the aether using 5G wifi router seems more plausible.

I can see how ads would pop up after talking with a colleague because there are microphones in everything. you smart phone, tv, and laptop is always listening.

I'm saying Google KNEW what I was THINKING and returned the exact phrase that was still in my THOUGHTS before I even finished typing it out. I had only typed 'fish w' and it knew I was thinking 'fish with human teeth'.

You weren't the first person to see that pic then make that search. Odds are you were like the 10,000th person to do so.

Google just follows the logic of 'monkee see, monkee do'

Re: How Does Google Know?
Hello OP. This has happened to me several times. I have had exact thoughts and several minutes later i have been shown ads of the things i have been thinking. Needless to say, they were not common things i usually think of. The Google Search thing has happened to me too.

I even start asking around if anyone had experienced that, i was looked upon as "crazy", as usual with this kind of things.

I truly believe there is something being tested out without our knowledge. It reminds me of that AI thing "Elon Musk" is working on. Maybe something else...who knows, there are a lot of things happening "behind the scenes" we are not aware of.

I can confirm, you are not alone on what has happened to you.

Nothing to do with search history, etc etc.

I understand what you are saying.

It observes everything.

It tracks what you see, how much time spent looking, data coming in through your microphone, your camera, then determines what you are likely thinking based on the small details of your behavior.

It has so much human data now, it comes to complex conclusions about us.

It's not really so different from reading your thoughts.

Re: How Does Google Know?
I typed "fish w," and "fish with human teeth" popped up. Actually, I was working in an office for the day a couple of years ago and they had a beautiful fish tank and there was this big fish with human teeth. It was really weird. I took several photos of it. And then I googled "fish with teeth." Obviously Google has experienced that question many times before.

No, "fish with chips" would not be common at all. "Fish and chips" would.

They listen to you on your microphone.
They know what website you were recently on. This let's them fill in the blanks on searches.
They have an extremely in depth profile about you. They know more about you than you do.
They know how frequently you are sad.
They know so much it would piss you off.

Basically they cross the fucking line.

The government is cool with it because they share the info with the government.
