Google search is over
Google search is over
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?"
You're viewing a single thread.
@JoBo I just googled it and Kenya came up as the first hit in Search and in Bard.
23 1 ReplySame. On my account and when logged out the first result is about Kenya. This is happening because of personalized search.
15 3 ReplyThat's not much of an excuse, if it's meant to be one. Google "personalised" the results by making them worse?
10 1 ReplyI get Kenya even if I am in an private window and not logged in.

Doubtful, I opened up a privacy tab and typed this and received it as the first, non-paraphrased result.
The paraphrased result was correct, but I wouldn't be surprised if Google is doing onesy, twosy patches when notable examples of it being completely full of AI bullshit arise.
