> answering our questions even before we asked them

That's an interesting angle, and would perfectly explain how bad they became, even before AI.

Going that route requires to make a lot of assumptions and rely on heuristics, bin users in large buckets that behave predictively.

People speaking different languages than the country they're flagged on, asking different questions than what the zeitgeist is about, searching for things outside of the consensus or switching interests too quickly would all have definitely worse experiences and become the collateral damage of that vision.

Would that be what we want for job interviews ?
