   Every January, I go through death records from the previous year that   
   are in my data base with no cause of death listed, or a vague cause of   
   death, or an unspecific date of death. This year, for the first time,   
   Google AI is trying to help me. I would say that its accuracy rate is   
   about thirty percent, compared to the maybe eighty or eighty-five   
   percent accuracy of the first page of non-AI search results. He're the   
   most blatant error so far:   
      
   My search term:  ""james dobson" cause of death"   
   Results below.

   AI Overview   
      
   Dr. James Dobson (founder of Focus on the Family) did not die; reports   
   of his death in August 2025 are incorrect, though his Wikipedia page   
   listed that date before being corrected, while actor Kevin Dobson   
   (Knots Landing) died in 2020 from an autoimmune deficiency.   
      
   Here's the clarification:   
      
   James Dobson (Focus on the Family Founder): He is still alive as of   
   early 2026, though a mistaken Wikipedia entry listed his death date as   
   August 21, 2025, which was later corrected.   
      
   Kevin Dobson (Actor): The actor known for Knots Landing passed away in   
   2020 from complications related to an autoimmune deficiency.   
   -----   
      
   Dobson did, in fact, die on 21 August 2025.
