Google's AI Mode refused to provide 2020 election results, and Gemini gave Pennsylvania's mail-in ballot deadline as November 3 instead of October 27. NewsGuard found ChatGPT cited "pink slime" partisan news sites in more than 70 percent of midterm-related searches, while Grok did so in 30 percent.
