I don't know if Google is as smart as they think, but the hotel example actually shows that google doesn't need to be exceedingly brilliant to spot patterns of relevance. In fact, this example demonstrates how simple it could be for Google to identify the relevance of all these links.

The assumption a small team could write a program that can detect what is relevant for all people on the planet at all times is really very worrying.
