Ask Trump's AI chatbot who won in 2020. You might not get an answer.

The Trump administration's new AI service, America.gov, gave conflicting responses to politically sensitive questions such as the 2020 election results and the Jan. 6 attack. Initially, the chatbot answered these questions, but later began refusing to answer, stating it would only provide answers about U.S. government services and official information.

Screenshots from Axios showed some users receiving refusals to answer, while others received different responses. This inconsistency could be due to several factors, including the model's system prompts, user prompts, caching of responses, or ideological alignment with the president or his party. The next iteration of America.gov, set for early 2027, will integrate across agencies, potentially holding very confidential private information, raising concerns about accuracy, completeness, and user privacy.
