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.
it is not Artificial Intelligence. It is Average Intelligence. And they want it everywhere.
It’s not intelligence at all. It does not understand what you ask it or what it tells you. It can string words together in a plausible sounding order. It cannot think.
