Right now if you search for “country in Africa that starts with the letter K”:
-
DuckDuckGo will link to an alphabetical list of countries in Africa which includes Kenya.
-
Google, as the first hit, links to a ChatGPT transcript where it claims that there are none, and summarizes to say the same.
This is because ChatGPT at some point ingested this popular joke:
“There are no countries in Africa that start with K.” “What about Kenya?” “Kenya suck deez nuts?”
Maybe it’s because I have ad blockers on, and try to avoid AI like the plague, but my google searches are giving me actual results rather than what you’re describing.
Then again, I know google gives different results based on the user.
It’s not my search. There’s a link. It says what the search engines are.
