What came about To The Dinosaurs – the newest Google Fail

may just 27, 2015

Google has had issues with showing snippets within the results pages that are in keeping with crowd sourced/externally sourced data in the past. remember when Greggs’ emblem was once made offensive? Or how in regards to the extra recent issues with mapping information? It seems to be set to proceed, with the most recent fail:

(Hat tip to Del Patrick for locating this)

was this a mistake or completed on objective? If it’s the latter then this is clearly the brand new Google bombing (below: an accurate resolution field!).

that is the problem while you crowd supply data and people know the sources. Is Google working to perfect this? i would say so, but I still are expecting many more errors/offensive content material to come back. in all probability it is creating or could advance a technique of detecting or marking debated themes, offensive content (surely that one’s easy?) and many others, so a moderator may take a look at them? (An in-home moderator).

within the case of the offensive map outcomes it reminds me of homophobic concerns with Google Translate, the place synonyms suggested for ‘homosexual’ have been hateful. possibly this is what has took place here, with ideal words being inappropriately synonymised with offensive ones? Or maybe it’s the nasty underbelly of the web spamming the information sources Google uses?

What’s your favorite/most miserable of those Google fails? let us know within the comments.
