Google has had various products and efforts over the years to do exactly that, so I'm not sure if "lazy" is the right word. Knol was doomed from the start because it foolishly went head-to-head with Wikipedia. Other efforts, like Freebase, were fairly successful, and knowledge graph today is pretty great for what it does, both as part of search results but even more so when powering their ML/vision/NLP APIs.

Looking through Golden's website they seem to want to do all of the same, but using their own (also user-contributed) content, aiming to make it accessible and valuable enough that companies will pay $1000 per month per employee (!) for it. I know almost nothing about the product so will hold off too much judgement, but that sounds like a pipe dream.
