Comment on Nine dead after shooter opens fire at Canadian high school in ~news
json Link ParentLikely similar feeling in Australia after the Bondi beach shooting back in December, and definitely how New Zealanders felt after the Christchurch mosque shooting in 2019.I can't think of a way to say this that doesn't come across as flippant, but I thought this kind of thing only happened here in the States.

A 'common person' use case of conversational search is to be the travel agent: help me plan out a holiday in Fiji.
With collated reviews of hotels that I could see obtained from, sorted by and filtered through the advertising engine.Comparing car models, cpus, phones, etc.
Easier to sway opinion with a more product placement type of ad than having 'relevant ads' adjacent to the conversation.
