Google, the Stupidity Amplifier (2016)
I think most HN people know Google is essentially a dumb search engine.<p>We're not surprised when image results have no correlation with the search term.  The problem is when other people fail to notice this disparity.<p>They'll go on to write articles and blog post based on google's results.  Later someone else will make a wikipedia page based on the blog post. Google's flawed results will now be confirmed by the wikipedia page.<p>A virtuous cycle indeed.
