Did Google develop Artificial Intelligence? And now it wants to know the meaning of life??…
Google becomes more and more weird every day. I’m kind of used (by now) to see Googlebot loading scripts, executing them, but today there was something weird. Not only did the Googlebot had a REFERRER field, but… well, look for yourself:
The Googlebot was searching for “meaning of life” limited to my “suggestan.com” site and it “clicked” the link to read the “If you want to know the meaning of life” page there. This is spooky, I know Google is working on artificial intelligence, but I was thinking of “here’s a couple more book searches for you” kind of intelligence, not the “who are you people and where’s all the booze?” kind. Thank God Google bot didn’t start filling the empty spaces there.
P.S. Ok, no conspiracy theories or UFOs here… It was a first time I ever saw Gbot with referer and it was a nice one. My best explanation is that is the way Google fights cloaking, trying to emulate a person completely. But it was just too fun to see this exact page being hit.
