Some examples of inaccuracies found by the BBC included:

Gemini incorrectly said the NHS did not recommend vaping as an aid to quit smoking

ChatGPT and Copilot said Rishi Sunak and Nicola Sturgeon were still in office even after they had left

Perplexity misquoted BBC News in a story about the Middle East, saying Iran initially showed "restraint" and described Israel's actions as "aggressive"
