@lauren It now says "Donald Trump was convicted of a felony in New York on May 30, 2024, becoming the first U.S. president to be convicted of a felony. He was later sentenced to an unconditional discharge on January 10, 2025, following his 2024 election victory. Trump is currently appealing his conviction, according to Wikipedia. "
So it either
A) Has updated it's information
B) Even worse, it's feeding different information to different people (more likely)

@lauren I'm now seeing what you are. I guess since Gemini was giving some accurate information, it had to be fixed
@itg Multiple people saw the original answer; I was not the first to discover it. However, Google tends to see my posts quite quickly at a quite high level, so word of the issue would have been known there quickly.
@lauren @itg It still shows "has not been convicted" to me. Of course, given Google's compute infrastructure, it's not unusual for different people to get different results.

@PeterLudemann @itg Life of a query ...
@PeterLudemann @itg When I first went internal my overwhelming initial impression as I came up to speed was that my "outsider" estimates of G's size had definitely been missing some zeros.

Grok gives a better answer than Google AI:
@weaselx86 Irrelevant. Grok gets other stuff equally wrong. They're all garbage.
