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?”

      Hmm fair enough I guess. It’d never occur to me to want to look for youtube videos about the intersection between home offices and home gyms, but I’m sure people do. I think I’d probably use a term like “home office gym” though in that case. Honestly I’d bet way more people want videos about “Office Jim” but are terrible at spelling than want home office exercise equipment videos though…
