       Looks like Google broke the "time in London" feature - I just got this saying the answer is 9:39pm, but the correct answer is actually 10:10am

       @simon hmm I wonder if they're trying to use bard for this now? This is totally the kind of thing the language models get wrong

       @lurker it looks to me more like they've expanded that existing feature that shows extracts of the top matching web page, except that's no good for "current time" because it's from their last crawl

       @simon Poor London. With the Greenwich Observatory right there, they still have to go on DST.

       @simon they probably fetch it from Wikipedia and Wikipedia caches the pages, and they also cache the Wikipedia's response, so you get this.

       @simon interesting it wouldn’t commit to which time zone London is actually in. Also suggests Siri.
