@JoBo I just googled it and Kenya came up as the first hit in Search and in Bard.
Same. On my account and when logged out the first result is about Kenya. This is happening because of personalized search.
That's not much of an excuse, if it's meant to be one. Google "personalised" the results by making them worse?
I 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.
RTFT and the thread is a link, not a post. I put quote marks in and everything.
