In other words, I agree with your assessment here. The petty abject attempts by all these companies to produce the world's first real "Jarvis" are all couched in "they didn't stop to think if they should."

My actual opnion is that they don't want to think if they should, because they know the answer. The pressure to go public with a shitty model outweighs the responsibility to the people relying on the search results.

It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

-Upton Sinclair

Sadly, same as it ever was. You are correct, they already know the answer, so they don't want to consider the question.

There’s also the argument that “if we don’t do it, somebody else would,” and I kind of understand that, while I also disagree with it.

Oh, they absolutely should. A "Jarvis" would be great.

But that thing they are pushing has absolutely no relation to a "Jarvis".
