AI Research Assistant Result with no source
I asked the AI Research Assistant to find a 1940 census. It described the census record with the information I would expect it to have, but the census link takes me to a marriage record. I would like to see the census record it supposedly found. The PID # is LRZD-PTT - George Cloud.

The source material the A.I. used for your request is actually a copy of Vital records from 1944. If you have access to Ancestry.com you can find the 1940 census records.

This is the response from AI:
George Cloud was recorded in the 1940 Census as living in Harlan, Kentucky.
In the 1940 Census, George Cloud is listed as a male, married, and residing in Harlan, Kentucky. His birth year is noted as 1905, and he is identified as a white individual. The census also includes his wife, Mary Cloud, and their children: James Donald Cloud, Eliza Cloud, Lola Cloud, and Betty J Cloud. This information confirms his family structure during that time period.
This is VERY misleading if the information did not come from the 1940 census. Why would the information be presented in this way if the 1940 census was not used as a source?
