7. Please don't use AI Overview. It's notorious for wrong answers, and its data is ripped off from websites

deprived of traffic. AI search is harming the internet.

I did a simple Google search.for

democrats house basement

and results from the last 24 hours, and immediately saw a Politico article on the first page of results. Politico is good at reporting this sort of Capitol Hill detail.

https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/06/january-6-anniversary-capitol-riot-00713422

The Democrats’ event was held in the basement after the speaker’s office declined to allow them to use a dedicated hearing room or the larger auditorium in the Capitol Visitor Center, according to a person granted anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly. Johnson’s office did not respond to a request for comment on the claim.

It looks like Google's seatch chatbot ripped off Politico, possibly without linking to the article.
