The verge reporting Google blocking AI searches for Trump dementia

So I guess we can take from this that all media all corporations are on board with the dictatorship.

OK not all, but the vast majority and that’s really really bad.

I do not have the link because I saw it on Facebook and I don’t wanna include the Facebook link and I can’t do the Google search right now to do the other non-Facebook link, someone else please

Came up with multiple hits on this particular article, plus other articles. It must just be the AI. I refuse to use it.

about Google blocking searches. So it comes up, but I can't get an AI response, while I get an extensive one for "Biden dementia".
