Cannot confirm your results. Firefox mobile, VPN @ New York. I get the exact results the article mentions. Even when I lost patience and asked: "Did Biden win in 2020?", it wouldn't give me a straight answer and only point to external sources.

Retried in different browsers (Chromite and Vanadium), same results. And not just same: identical. This is weird, because LLMs aren't deterministic: Even with the same prompt, you'll never get the same answer twice. This tells us one thing: these replies aren't generated. They're canned. Someone put them there.
