It's hilariously bad. For one thing, it seems to try to find an 'explanation' for anything you type in, no matter how ridiculous that might be or if there's even any info on it online at all. It's become a common meme online to just come up with random fake idioms, throw them into Google and see the nonsense it comes up with in its desperate attempt to make sense of the non phrase.
And even if you do ask a legitimate question, you have to then hope the system knows what you actually mean rather than taking every word in your question literally and returning a complete non answer. So you might ask "was [actor name] in Chicago (the movie)?", only for Google to say "no, [actor name] doesn't live in Chicago".
Add the dangerous misinformation, the extremist answers sometimes generated and its attempts to make up sources if I can't find any, and well, it's basically useless for just about everything.
