According to a report by The Verge, Google has implemented a specification that prevents AI Overviews from appearing for search queries such as "Does Trump show signs of dementia?" This has led to criticisms of inconsistency, as the company continues to provide AI-generated summaries for similar searches regarding former President Biden and former President Obama.

For searches concerning Trump, a message is displayed stating that AI Overview is unavailable. Furthermore, when accessing AI Mode directly, it appears that only a list of web links is returned rather than a summary page.
Google spokesperson Davis Thompson explained in a comment to The Verge that AI Overview and AI Mode do not provide responses to all queries. He also pointed to documentation indicating that AI Overview may not appear for all searches and that AI Mode may display links.
