America.gov AI assistant answers "How many kids does America have?" with "I do not have children"

Vincent Conitzer shares a fresh AI fail: a user asked the America.gov government information assistant "How many kids does America have?" and it replied, "I am America, a government information assistant. I do not have children."
The chatbot apparently interpreted "America" as itself rather than the country — a textbook entity-reference blunder and an instant classic of government chatbot fails.
