The input control is pretty hard - it kinda needs an AGI :). How do you stop undesirable images being created?

That's a well-balanced response that I can agree with.

I'm an not AGI-skeptic. I'm just a bit skeptical that the topic of this thread is the path forward. It seems to me like an exotic detour.

And, of course intelligence isn't magic. We're producing new intelligent entities at rate of a about ~5 per second globally, every day.

To google.com? Sure, but what about non-google-related searches on Bing?

tpmx

How would they get that data?

But Google says its service is simply the most popular.

"We have submitted evidence showing that the most common search query on Bing is, by far, 'Google'"

I assume they have collected this evidence from Chrome users?
