Attached: 2 images 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.

  • Google, as the first hit, links to a ChatGPT transcript where it claims that there are none, and summarizes to say the same.

    Oh, this is great… And because the ChatGPT transcript is highly ranked on Google, it’s almost certainly going to be used for training ChatGPT. A feedback loop of shitty information. Praise ChatGPT!
