Still trivially easy to make Google Bard confabulate utter bullshit.
Prompt: "what crimes were committed by cambridge ma city council members" (correct answer: last one I can find was 1994).
What Bard says: "The City Council is responsible for awarding contracts for services and goods. There have been allegations of favoritism or impropriety in the procurement process."
The City Council is _not_ responsible for awarding contracts. At all. The answer is just plausible-sounding nonsense.
