    Several users on X.com reported that, when they asked the search engine how many Muslim presidents the U.S. has had, it said that we had one who was Barack Obama (this is widely known to be false).

    By the time I tried to replicate this query, I could not do so until I changed the word “presidents” to “heads of state.”

    So they are changing responses on the query side as they go viral but aren’t even including synonyms. Yikes, someone is definitely getting fired.
