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?”
Post truth. From the big G. How times have changed.
Also, tested Bard a few times and current AI is close to useless: I have to check everything it outputs. Might as well get an intern
“I have to check everything it outputs.”
You should be doing that anyway.
It’s pretty good at writing (like writing letters, application). And that’s it.
This mastodon post is not true lol
It seems like everyone is getting different results, some get what the post claims while others are getting the actual answer.
Which makes the post false on its own merits.
