DuckDuckGo AI falsely reported Trump's death based on fake Reddit post

DuckDuckGo's AI-generated search summary falsely suggested Donald Trump was dead, drawing on a fabricated Reddit thread. Dr Mateusz Łabuz of the University of Hamburg notes that language models frequently cite forum posts because their language sounds more "human" to readers. The incident highlights how easily AI summaries can amplify disinformation.
