Yeah recently I was researching some articles on the Beatles, and I used Google search to find the lyrics - they were wrong, which I knew because I knew the right lyrics I just needed to copy past them.
But really I think the day that Google is the best search engine for the normal person are gone because Google will return stuff authoritatively that is wrong.
The normal person is by definition not a subject matter expert and cannot know if what they got from a search is wrong without further research.
I wrote a humorous little article about it and why they were wrong https://medium.com/luminasticity/artificial-stupidity-and-th... (sourcing lyrics through third party, returned Lennon's original draft lyrics)
