    Is Google using GPT-AI-Things now for stuff like that? Sounds awfully like the typical ramblings of those word calculators.

      This is an old image, so GPT wasn’t around back then. The top result of a Google search is often a sample of a webpage - Google estimates which part of the article best answers your question. The next sentence of the article probably tells you about the counting-rings method, but it was either cropped out of the image or Google didn’t choose to include that part of the article in the sample.

      I think Google is showing why it thinks the result is relevant to the search. For example, the search used the term “find out,” so Google bolded “know” and “determine,” which it believes to be related to the question.

    I love how it’s logical, but untrue. A tree might have been planted in 1950 or 2000 but be the same “age” if both were cut after 10 years

      Good point I didn’t even think about the fact you might ask the age of a cut tree which might have not been cut recently.

      is it still a tree if it’s been cut down? at what point does it become simply wood?

    Bing only priorities more trustworthy websites to avoid this like when you search how to fix a problem an official help center comes up.

        I just drove through the Redwoods in California and really couldn’t believe how many rings the largest trees had. To be honest, it’s way more wood than I even needed.

        Does this apply to humans too? Instead of asking I’ll just kill them to count their ribs, seems logical enough at least /s

    If you know the candle is fire, then the meal was cooked long ago.
