>Who is the eighth Federal Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany? - Olaf Scholz (wrong, Angela Merkel)

Technically there's no right answer to this question. "Is" implies present. But Angela Merkel isn't the present chancellor. Olaf Scholz is. But he's not the eigth.

Technically, Angela Merkel never stopped being the person who served as the eighth chancellor.
Language is imprecise. LLMs should be able to deal with that.
