Apparently Google AI Mode can tell you who won the 2020 US election, but only if you ask from another country. In America, Biden’s victory is apparently classified as a dangerous opinion. Incredible achievement: building a machine that knows the answer and has been trained to pretend it doesn’t.
This is just called good government relations. You don’t want acting heads of state to be mad at you. Google does this for everything. Borders and names on their maps change depending on who’s asking. Maybe it shouldn’t be like that, and maybe it’s disappointing that the US apparently requires coddling like this, but it is what it is.
I just tried it from the US and it told me unequivocally that Joe Biden won.
However it didn’t automatically show the “AI mode” result when I searched. It sometimes does and other times doesn’t, depending on the search. But when I tapped “AI mode” I got a straight answer. Not even a mention of fraud allegations.
