I needed to contact a local law firm, Tees Law (other lawyers are indeed available, but this is a specific case!).

So I entered "Tees solicitors" in my New Improved Bing search engine.

Long ago, the firm was set up by solicitor Stanley Tee and traded under his name for umpteen years. So Bing dug into history, unearthed Stanley Tee, and instead of the phone number I needed, gave me a page of references to workmen's tee-shirts bearing the logo of Stanley Tools.

For the pedantically minded, by the way, even that is incorrect! The item of clothing has nothing to do with golf (you'd be banned for wearing one on the links at St Andrews) but its shape - it's a T shirt.

If you are going to have your x-ray or MRI scan read by an AI system, you have been warned.

Now Alan, you did not really expect a useful answer, or did you?

Time was, when Google was dumb, you could input the name of a company and be given its phone number. Now that folk are using AI to screen chest x-rays, you can expect the radiology report to consist of recipes for barbecued ribs.

So, I put "Tees solicitors" into Google.
It gave me the details of a law firm in  Cambridge as the second choice.
The problem may be Microsoft rather than AI.

You must have an old version of Google - lucky you. Or maybe it's just B(oe)ing that is crap. But out of interest, what was the first choice?
