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?"

I'm not sure if you're joking, but in case you're not:

Brave is not a search engine. Brave is a browser. You use browsers to interact with things like search engines.

The top three search engines that I can think of right now are Google, Bing, and Duck Duck Go.

Brave search exists

Brave has it's own search engine and uses it's own indexes. Unlike duck duck go which uses bing

I use and love ddg, so I hope that doesn't change your opinion of it, just good to know.

That realization must have been embarrassing haha. It's okay, friend, you can't be expected to be caught up with everything going on in tech.

You should have duck duck goed that before posting
