Google's AI Overview can't even sort numbers: crime rate ranking contradicts its own source

A user caught Google's AI Overview mis-ranking 2010 US state crime rates: it put Florida (4,092 per 100k) first while ranking Louisiana (4,200) third, and included states that shouldn't even be in the top five per its cited source, disastercenter.com. The actual top five should have been South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida.
