You should never ask an LLM to answer questions about itself. The answer is guaranteed to be hallucinated unless Google specifically finetuned it on an answer of that question. The answer it gave you is meaningless. (But also, coincidentally, correct.)

I recall seeing that OpenAI finetuned ChatGPT on facts related to itself, and I figured Google likely did the same. But you're right about not relying on its representations. I only skimmed its answer to see if it seemed consistent with my reading of the fine print.
