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?"

Works fine for me

Kenya. Kenya is a country located in East Africa. It shares borders with Tanzania, Uganda, South Sudan, Ethiopia, and Somalia.

I literally just googled that exact search inquiry and it told me all about Kenya. What's the problem again, and why are all these comments pretending the so-called glitch is real?

Google gave me a list of countries as the top hit. Bing did the same. Whoever wrote this article has an agenda.
