'shirt no stripes'
on Google returned this web page at top of the organic results.
So at some point, searching for a shirt online will involve this conversation. Even more confusing.
(Although I expect my filter bubble will play a part in that)
Likewise, here, I would search for solid-colored shirts.
And these services are limited to the content/terminology utilized by the cataloged sites/products.
If I am selling a "black shirt" or a "solid black shirt," it is not google's job to catalog it as a "shirt without stripes," unless I advertise it as a "black shirt without stripes."
I would use natural language to test a services' NLP ability.
The point of this isn't asking how to apply boolean search operators, it's showing that the largest AI-focused companies in the world absolutely suck at NLP.
I'd go as far as saying "AI" is only as good as someone has taken the time to program the use case.

Huh? It's supposed to be the opposite, hence the "I"
At some point in the future marketers will learn about AGI, and we'll have to make yet another term, maybe artificial general practical intelligence?
To me, the most interesting implication here is that this must not adversely affect Google's ad revenue. If it did, they would surely fix it. This, in turn, means that apparently we have been trained to interface with search engines such that this is not a problem. Sometimes I wonder how much my brain has changed to use search engines / how much of it is dedicated to effective googling. Makes me feel like a cyborg.
The other day I found that googling something like “mesothelioma -lawyer” will exclude results with “lawyer” but all the ads will still be for lawyers and contain the word “lawyer”. I guess because they leave it up to the advertiser to determine the negative match words and that seems to always have priority.

My favorite was "What do vegetarians eat" which was broken for years: https://twitter.com/Caust1c/status/855193855422943234

Yes. I expect to get results that contain the keywords "shirt", "stripes", and "without", but perhaps with the last term ignored. Why, what would you expect? Would you search for "shirts that don't have stripes"? Or "shirts lacking stripes"?
This is the only interface you really get into the amazon catalog. What if you really are looking for shirts that don't have stripes? How would you formulate the query?
I would never search for something this way. If I wanted to find a 4WD car, I wouldn't search for "cars without 2WD." Likewise, here, I would search for solid-colored shirts.
