Apparently Google AI Mode can tell you who won the 2020 US election, but only if you ask from another country. In America, Biden’s victory is apparently classified as a dangerous opinion. Incredible achievement: building a machine that knows the answer and has been trained to pretend it doesn’t.
I just tried it from the US and it told me unequivocally that Joe Biden won.
However it didn’t automatically show the “AI mode” result when I searched. It sometimes does and other times doesn’t, depending on the search. But when I tapped “AI mode” I got a straight answer. Not even a mention of fraud allegations.
I tested it in regular browsing and incognito from a US ISP (because I live in the US) with two different phrases of the question, and it told me Biden won every time, and 3 out of 4 times told me the electoral votes. I’m not trying to protect Google, but this wasn’t something I was able to reproduce. Whether that means they’ve since fixed it, or something else, is difficult to say without a look behind the curtain.
I tried it just now using ff focus browser and got the following response:
To verify the results, vote counts, and historical details of the 2020 United States presidential election, consult official election records or view the FEC data reports.
I repeated the inquiry and the second time it said Joe Biden.
Shhh everyone’s trying to have a two-for-one here where they hate on AI and the US as the same time. Don’t ruin it with facts!!
Tried it. It told me pretty explicitly “Joe Biden” with both Gemini 3.8 flash and via AI mode on Google search…
Article might be bait.
Definitely bait:
And yes I know that I didn’t test every thinking level for every model. I feel like this is enough for you to get the point.
Goodbye, information era.
Welcome, manipulation era!
I know… we’ve been in the latter for some time.Yes, it tries to both sides everything as if both platforms are equal, so it misleads people as the propagandists want. You have to know to push back on it and it will get honest eventually, but they’ll break that too.
Waiting for Google to peak after earnings so I can dump it and take my profit. Fucking Dick ass worthless cum rags.

This is what Gemini said "Joe Biden won the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Running alongside his vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris on the Democratic ticket, Biden secured 306 Electoral College votes and approximately 81.2 million popular votes. Incumbent President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence received 232 Electoral College votes. Joe Biden was officially sworn in as the 46th President of the United States on January 20, 2021. "
Wow, it didnt even give me an ai overview when I tried it. Just the sight of the first search result right under the search bar… it’s almost like I’ve forgotten what recent pre-ai internet was like.

Never rely on a web search service that picks winners for you.
The wealthy people’s propaganda machine is just getting started. The wealthy have already been gaming AI just like they gamed SEO.
