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 is working perfectly fine for me. No AI or misleading answers. Haven’t tried DuckDuckGo yet, but I’m fine with Google as-is. Here’s what my results look like when searching for an African country that starts with K.

    Edit: after reading some more comments, I can confirm that I don’t get any strange results from any different ways of asking the question. Maybe it’s a geographic thing?
