(#yrdafza) @New_scientist No, Google does not predict this. "Google AI" has been self-promoting like this for decades. Remember when they used to brag that they could predict the onset of flu season weeks before it started? That silently went away because they got it badly wrong many times and people caught on to how bad their "predictions" actually were. They can't stop themselves. Anything about AI coming out of big tech companies these days is marketing, not real, and certainly not science.
