Now just to recap, and make this completely clear. Well, that's wrong. Let's make it as clear as I can. You said:

That's ridiculous. Just looked at my link again and it says

Kirk Douglas was never in a chariot in a movie,
as the famous chariot race sequence was in the film Ben-Hur (1959), in which he did not star.

Yet you say for you it says

Yes, Kirk Douglas was in a chariot in a movie, specifically the 1960 film Spartacus, where he played the title role of the gladiator and slave rebel. While the film is famous for its large-scale battle and gladiator scenes, it also features a scene where Douglas's character is in a chariot during the triumphal parade through Rome.

And yet when I clicked on your link, in this post or any other, I got this, as I said and you noted:



BUT... If I click on your original link NOW, I get:

Yes, Kirk Douglas was in a chariot in a movie, specifically the 1960 film Spartacus. While the famous chariot race in cinema history is from Ben-Hur (1959) starring Charlton Heston, Douglas did appear in a chariot in Spartacus.

So Google Gemini has changed its mind, and is hedging. I'd say the "AI Overviews" it offers should always be double checked. Which of course makes them useless.

I wonder if I should initiate a pointless circular conversation with Google about this issue. It's really very interesting.
