Just don’t ask it, it’s considered quite rude
Never ask a man his salary or a tree their age
Just cut it down, then you can count the rings and get its age
Last time I’ve tried it, I ended up in jail and still don’t know how much did guy earned
We can’t just assume their age and accidentally call them madam
That would be quite hasty indeed.
Is Google using GPT-AI-Things now for stuff like that? Sounds awfully like the typical ramblings of those word calculators.
This is an old image, so GPT wasn’t around back then. The top result of a Google search is often a sample of a webpage - Google estimates which part of the article best answers your question. The next sentence of the article probably tells you about the counting-rings method, but it was either cropped out of the image or Google didn’t choose to include that part of the article in the sample.
thing is, nowadays some of these articles are actually written by AI, i.e. the afrika has no country with K incident
Kenya?
I love how it’s logical, but untrue. A tree might have been planted in 1950 or 2000 but be the same “age” if both were cut after 10 years
Good point I didn’t even think about the fact you might ask the age of a cut tree which might have not been cut recently.
is it still a tree if it’s been cut down? at what point does it become simply wood?
In some languages, the word for “tree” and the word for “wood” are the same.
What’s with the the fact that some words are randomly bolded?
I think Google is showing why it thinks the result is relevant to the search. For example, the search used the term “find out,” so Google bolded “know” and “determine,” which it believes to be related to the question.
That makes sense, thank you for the insight.
Sbeve.
Thanks, I learned a new meme today!

Count the candles on its birthday cake
Alternatively you can cut it down and count the rings. HTH
Thanks for the advice! I’ve always wanted to know the average age of the trees in the Amazon rainforest.
starts cutting down trees
I just drove through the Redwoods in California and really couldn’t believe how many rings the largest trees had. To be honest, it’s way more wood than I even needed.
I take it you didn’t keep a log of all the trees cut?
Unfortunately, no, but if you go out there, there should be a paper trail you can follow.
Does this apply to humans too? Instead of asking I’ll just kill them to count their ribs, seems logical enough at least /s
Bing only priorities more trustworthy websites to avoid this like when you search how to fix a problem an official help center comes up.

Most trees aren’t planted from seed, Google. Most trees humans use are already at least a few months old!
They don’t explain how!
If you know the candle is fire, then the meal was cooked long ago.
SO TRUE GOOGLE!
