Google can also return "People also asked" results that make so sense or give incorrect answers. Sometimes they even contradict the cited article.

E.g

Ask "is pi disjunctive" and you'll get the top result of

> = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795... is a disjunctive number.

But if you click into the article (what percentage even will?) you'll find it's part of a larger statement:

> It is not known whether π = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795... is a disjunctive number.




Earlier this year you could google "is covid airborne" and get a WHO article explaining that it is not airborne above the first result :)
