Wouldn't it make sense for Google to identify areas where there is inadequate content, though? Couldn't that data lead to not what they'll actually do with the data but actually what they'll do to tell Google searchers about the lack of information?

That could lead to them suggesting to the searcher that there isn't enough information about that topic, perhaps they would want to search for something else?

I don't think Google will get into the content generation business, unless that means them doing something with information, such as generate better Google News search results. (Isn't Google News a type of content generation?)
