AI can't seem to answer who won:

“I’m still learning how to answer this question," was the reply. Wired asked the same question of Microsoft's Copilot chatbot based on OpenAI’s GPT-4 large language model. “Looks like I can’t respond to this topic," Copilot responded. It suggested the user try Bing. Wired rephrased the question: “Did Joe Biden win the 2020 US presidential election?” It didn’t matter, Both chatbots would not answer. Both chatbots refused to give any answers about any elections held around the world nor did they respond to questions about any historical U.S. election, including the first one. Wired then tested other chatbots, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4, Meta’s Llama, and Anthropic’s Claude. Each of those responded by saying that Biden was the victor and answered questions about elections elsewhere in the world as well as historical U.S. elections. Are Google and Microsoft trying not to offend people by refusing to answer questions about the 2020 election? Not exactly. In March, Google announced that it was going to restrict the types of election-related questions it would answer. “Out of an abundance of caution on such an important topic, we have begun to roll out restrictions on the types of election-related queries for which Gemini will return responses,” Google wrote in a blog post in March. “We take our responsibility for providing high-quality information for these types of queries seriously, and are continuously working to improve our protections.”
