This is a screenshot of an article, but it only shows the title and picture. The title, "Google an AI which predicts death better than doctors." That is something I don't doubt, we spend so much time on Google we know they know us better than ourselves. Thats why when you're doing anything online, your computer gives you ads of things you like. They're calculating the minutes you have left. They can use your camera to take a few years off your life if they see you doing something questionable...stupid. I think a human diagnosis will always be more accurate because it takes one to know one...LOL. Maybe this death predictor is just as accurate as horoscopes. You know we all feen for those because "they're so me", so maybe when we see how and when we're going to die we're going to be like "facts, thats true". The internet is a scary and interesting place, if you trust web MD for the ongoing pain in your chest signifying you have cancer, then maybe Google's death calendar may work for you. I surely wouldn't trust it as they always tell you that anything you read on the internet isn't true, but honestly don't we usually read that on the internet? Yeah... so I don't know who to trust during times like this... but I still think a human is always the best bet because it is a more hands on, specific diagnosis. Ya feel?
