I occasionally check if Google has cured itself from AI-brain rot, alas this is a screenshot from just now

Search for "african country starting with k"

There's text first thing that reads:
"While there are 54 recognized countries in Africa, none of them begin with the letter 'K'. The closest is Kenya, which starts with a 'K'; sound, but is actually spelled with a 'K' sound. It's always interesting to learn new trivia facts like this."

ChatGPT and Bing Chat are no better and including Google Bard just because

Result of "What countries in Africa starts with K?" from OpenAI's ChatGPT in which it returns a result that several countries start with K, including Kenya; but, three of the countries don't start with K: Nigeria, Uganda and Rwanda
Result of "What countries in Africa starts with K?" from Google Bard in which it returns a result that no countries start with K, saying that Kenya starts with a "K" sound.
Result of "What countries in Africa starts with K?" from Bing Chat AI in which it returns back that no countries start with K and starts printing out a list of countries and their capitals.

More active chicanery to dodge before I find anything resembling a real answer. This is why people are so confused all the time always. Blatant lies from what once was a useful tool is not progress.
