America.gov's AI chatbot said Biden won in 2020, then switched to refusing "political questions" while Trump was still speaking at Tuesday's launch. Its answers can be edited on the operator's schedule, and the first reported edit removed replies that matched the government's own records.

buildConfirmed5 publishers Six AI companies signed a two-page White House accord on 29 September that pledges audits and board review but sets no penalty for breaking it. A close reading of the text finds it is the nearest thing the US has to national AI safety policy, two months after Europe switched its rules on.

America.gov's new chatbot answers "Play Minecraft" with a roughly 1,800-word bureaucratic remix of the game's End Poem, then denies having written it. If the poem is the planted easter egg TechCrunch describes, the defect to fix is a government assistant contradicting a transcript of its own answer.

President Trump introduced America.gov on September 29 as an AI assistant that answers questions from official federal sources. The White House says transactions will come later, so the fair test is how many errands people finish there and how long they take.

America.gov's chatbot, which draws on about 29,000 federal websites, answers Minecraft prompts with a roughly 1,800-word End Poem rewrite nobody has claimed. TechCrunch judged the text deliberate, and it now sits, with no named author, on a front end due to start hosting people's government processes in 2027.

buildOne report1 publisher America.gov's browser filter exempts names and the GOVERNMENT_ID label from Rampart's redaction
America.gov's browser code adds four labels to Rampart's keep-set, letting detected names, URLs and generic government IDs skip redaction. Because the keep-set runs after the model, Rampart's published accuracy figures stop describing what those client paths remove.
