Let's say you have a preconceived idea about the cause of your dog's problems. You go on Google, and you find out you were right!
The problem is, Google software is designed to figure out what you want to see, and will deliver it to you. Every search is measured against your previous searches, the links you hover over, the time spent there, other internet surfing you do. Google is sniffing around all that you do and has a profile of you, probably knows who you know, who you are related to, where you shop, and a probability estimate of what they can show you to make them more money.
While AI is going to play a good role for many things, it is also going to send a lot of people down rabbit holes full of articles, videos, and other links that will confirm their biases.
Let the buyer beware. Do you want to screw up your dog even more?
Plan accordingly.
