This is just google trying to make sense of nonsense Japanese; the Xのこと is something like 'X's characteristics' (sounds really stiff, but that's how i'd concisely explain it) so のごとが好きです is like "i like 's characteristics" and is semantically meaningless.

interesting I deleted two characters off

and it translates as I love you :) no idea how it would come across in japanese

The parent comment just left out the 大 (big/great) from the sentence example

好き - like

大好き - love (lit. "great fondness")

You dont need dai- to declare your love in Japanese, unless you are an immature teenager.
