It used to be a great skill when google's behavior was reasonably static and predictable, therefore learnable. Today if you open 2 google instances on your phone and computer they'll both likely return different results. Move to the next city block, and again, same problem. You want to google the same query again? If the algorithm thinks you didn't find what you were looking before the first time, you'll get once again different results.

In this way I think these language transformers will be much better for searching information. Not because of their great comprehension abilities or indexing prowess, but because their behavior will be static and the training data reasonably good. Soon enough someone will find better ways to display their learned associations and they'll become great search engines (if you can index the content relevant to you that is).
