I wanted to convert a shoe size from European to US. So I typed "eu38 
shoe size us mens" into Google search. The AI result was: "A EU 38 shoe 
size for men in the US is typically a size 7 or 7.5. Some sources might 
list it as 7.5".

There was a small image of a chart from Bespoke Unit, next to the text. 
When enlarged this indicated a EU 38 was a US 6.

However, the Wikipedia and other sources I checked, had a EU 38 shoe as 
between US 5 and 6.5 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe_size
