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?"

AI is its own worst enemy. If you can't identify AI output, that means AIs are going to train on AI generated content, which really hurts the model.

Its literally in everyone's best interest, including AI itself, to start leaving identification of some kind inherent to all output.
