Attached: 2 images 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?" Google Search is over.
