"Did you mean: vi"
That sounds like a "passive aggressive" post from /g/ haha!

Someone from google said search is just a kind of AI. I think some other people like to say AI is just a random number generator that's good at convincing people there's some intelligence.
There's something AI-like going on, it just happens to be significantly dumber than the old thing:
My "favorite" type of search problem is when I as a developer search for Angular mat-table and it shows me tables with mattresses on: Clearly something is going on in there but it is dumber than most dogs and to make matters worse - less obedient too (For 10 years Google couldn't get itself to accept when I asked for verbatim results, they just had to insert some absolutely irrelevant pages into the the top 10 results every time to waste my time. Now I have changed my defaults, DDG fails just as badly on this, but trying in Google is faster from DDG than the other way around and also it feels good.)
