He's the best advisor in the world.

And you expect that the way you're going to get advice is you're going to run up to Sean, you're going to shout, should I get a divorce?

And then you're going to listen to the first three seconds and then run away, right?

No, no, that's not going to work for you.

Why?

Because you have to give context.

You have to make it personal.

And I even hear around smart people in the AI community saying dumb things like the right amount of context or the right context, right?

That's like the right decision.

There's no the right decision.

There is a decision made well that suits what you need.

The right decision sounds like we would all make the decision the same way.

No, we need the skills of knowing what we need, having the vision, being able to articulate, and putting in the information

that is necessary, the context, but also leaving out things.

Those are all choices.

How we craft all that, that's judgment.

And so, to get a human like Sean to help you with your marriage, you would have to give a lot of context and make it quite personalized.

But with Google, it's 2019, you have just put five pages of context in there, and what do you get?

No results.

Google taught you how to go online and be under-advised, to reduce the ambitiousness of your queries until they are about what every generic person would want an answer to.
