It's either massive quality control incompetence or the coddling of fascism, neither of which are a great look.
Last month the Trump administration launched America.gov, an AI-assisted chatbot that unsurprisingly injects a lot of partisan agitprop into its responses on behalf of our dogshit authoritarian government.
Though others tell me they're still getting the "error."Back during the 2024 election season, both Google (Gemini) and Microsoft (CoPilot) AI chatbots were criticized for similarly being unable of clearly stating who won the 2020 election. So this isn't really new. And while AI fucks up a lot, getting this basic fact right shouldn't be any sort of meaningful challenge. Meanwhile, if you ask Google-Gemini enabled search who will win the 2028 Presidential election, it recommends consulting not respected authorities – but online gambling markets like Kalshi and Polymarket (it also pummels you with ads for both markets when users search for information on senate races).
