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?"

when will people learn that search results change all the time and are different for different people

What's your point here? Is googling supposed to be a lottery of good and shit results?

I just tried it and got this result. The sentence is incredible, I can't get over how painfully stupid it is.

Apparently Kenya starts with a k sound and a letter that resembles k but not the letter k
