That’s my exact point, not everything has an objective correct answer, something Google is only able to provide. Creating a sufficient answer to some questions is based on the subjective experience one gains or is able to glean from others.
If there’s no objective, correct answer to a question then the point is moot. If you’re getting something out of some individual’s subjective answer it’s based on the want to build a relationship or gain understanding of that person which inherently has nothing to do with the question itself.
That’s fine and all, but not really what I understand your original question to be asking. People have experiences, and those experiences are theirs: they can’t give them to you. If you like hearing about it anyway, cool, but you might as well read a poem.
Edit: substitute “a book” for “Google” in your question and see how it’s a weird take.
There is value in talking to people, but that has nothing to do with a question or situation you might Google or look up in a book. These are fundamentally different things.
Subjective information is inherently less valuable than objective information for trying to learn something unless you are writing a survey paper. If you want to have a chat to combat loneliness or try to better understand your grandmother you’re not answering a question so you wouldn’t look it up anyway. If you’re googling what it feels like to make a roux you are probably not neurotypical.

Talking to people and hearing their stories and experiences has no value to you?
