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?”
I’m a big fan of ChatGPT. And if all of this leads to people no longer blindly believing what they see on the internet, then even more so.
And if we’re honest: Asking Google a question hasn’t always led to the right answer.
