    I asked about the Strait of Hormuz, and it summarized information from Al Jazeera, the BBC, and Wikipedia. It added the following disclaimer:

    Disclaimer: This information is based on reports from April 18–20, 2026, and the situation is highly volatile.

    This seems reasonable.

    When I asked about ICE illegal operations, it summarized and linked to the American Immigration Council.

    This is not as good. If I’m asking about something done right now being illegal, I would like to see ongoing cases challenging the legality of the actions. I’d hesitate to call that bias instead of just bad results though.

      I’m not sure where you are from, and perhaps it depends on the location!

      I would definitely call it bias, because if it can summarize Al Jazeera for the Strait, it could certainly summarize Al Jazeera for ICE!

        The American Immigration Council is a better source than Al Jazeera for describing what ICE might be doing that is wrong, so I don’t consider that a valid criticism of this summary.
