This is because it is referencing and regurgitating Wikipedia articles.

Nope. It had found an Oracle page for the LTS date and an OpenJDK page for the latests version.
Yeah I did also find it to be mostly accurate. However, seeing the sources I felt like I kind of have to check all the languages just in case it picked up information from a random "X ways to do Y" article that might not have been prioritizing accuracy. And for this search query I did see several languages' actual websites, but I did another very similar query earlier where 9 out of 12 results were all numbered list articles clearly intended for SEO. 2 of them were actual official sites. And 1 was what appears to be a decent attempt at talking about programming languages (i.e. not SEO only).
As of October 31, 2024, the latest version of Java is Java 23, released on September 17, 2024. The most recent Long-Term Support (LTS) version is Java 21, released on September 19, 2023.
Which all seems correct and accurate.
