Nice try, pre Skynet bot. We're not falling for your suggestion of building an AI for search.

Besides, if one really good one does exist, many/most SEO people would be out of a job; white or black hats.



Why is that a bad thing? Maybe they could do something more productive with their lives than figuring out ways to corrupt one of the most useful information tools humanity has built...


Whitehat SEOs aren't corrupting anything. Hell, Matt Cutts gives them advice on how better to do their job.


Indeed I (SEO engineer for a large publisher) spend 70% of my time giving feed back to our developers on how to build a site correctly - whats the best way to handle pagination or faceting on a 10M page site for example.
