Search: "first baby boomer president".

Google knowledge panel's answer: "Harry S. Truman".

The correct answer is Bill Clinton, born in 1946.

Truman was president from 1945 to 1953, so he was the first president in office during the actual baby boom, when the Baby Boomers were babies. So there seems to be a connection, it's just totally the wrong one.
