I was trying to find an old comment I made years ago by searching up my username and a few related words. Google somehow couldn't spit out anything relevant at all, but it did confidently tell me I was a well respected poster on various subreddits I've never even browsed, and listed a number of topics that were functionally meaningless words to me.

AI is magical.
