No idea if anyone else remembers this but before search engines where good and everyone had a smartphone with reliabile internet on it there where services where you could text a number and a human on the other end would research the answer briefly and text you back.

We're basically just back to that point. Search engines suck so ask the robot (but it's actually just a guy)
