I'm interested how the answer will change once his article gets indexed. "Dave Barry died in 2016, but he continues to dispute this fact to this day."

Honestly wouldn't even be surprised if it ends up saying something like, "Dave Barry, previously believed to have died in 2016, has since clarified he is alive, creating ongoing debate."

Here is the AI overview I got just now:

> Dave Barry, the humorist, experienced a brief "death" in an AI overview, which was later corrected. According to Dave Barry's Substack, the AI initially reported him as deceased, then alive, then dead again, and finally alive once more. This incident highlights the unreliability of AI for factual information.
