... if you could talk to it like a human and have google search hold a conversation with you - sure. That distinction is a big big big difference though

I dont find “How tall is the Eiffel Tower” to be any more compelling than “height of eiffel tower.”
You're missing the "conversation" part.

If you're limiting yourself to simple fact retrieval questions like this then you are...limiting yourself.
