        I didn’t make my point clear. My question wasn’t really where the image was sourced, it was more about the value of what Google is doing matching an essentially random image next to the text it scraped from a website. Why did it choose that image? Adding a random image like that seems like what a low-grade SEO would do to tick the needed boxes not a high-quality product from a multi-billion dollar company. The image in no way enhances the meaning of what I asked. In fact, it does the opposite. It is a bit of Google becoming what it mocked.

          It picked an image from a website talking about AI, and slapped it next to a response talking about AI.

          Theoretically, a website with a text related to the response, “should” have an image related to the response… but yeah, it looks kind of like cheap box ticking, like the AI didn’t check whether the photo content itself was relevant or not.

      I think stuff like this would be more appropriate for voice control devices, namely Google Assistant
