Alas, it has the emergent mind answer ranked fairly high still, and when search result was set to my country it was actually ranked highest.
Also, if you use Quick Answer, you’ll get same wrong answer:
Quick Answer There are no countries in Africa whose name starts fully with the letter "K". While Kenya is the closest match, its name does not start solely with "K" [1]. All of the African countries' names were reviewed across multiple sources and none began completely with the letter "K" [2][3][4].

Can confirm, still happening 🤦♂️
So what are your bets, when will Google kill Google?
So if you search for something in Google, you Google(d) it
If I use DuckDuckGo... Is it duck it? If it's not it should be after all the years of autocorrect changing fuck it to duck it, I think society has earned this one.

Bing gives me the right answer: that list of countries.
What an amazing time we live in. Where Bing is better than Google. Though Bing does have AI, I think you have to scroll up (past the top) or directly search with it so far.

hasn't been like it was for years now.
Compare with Kagi (this is a shared search for anyone who doesn't have an account):
That is why some people are building new search engines as admarust.net a full p2p search engine able to index IPFS content. https://github.com/Mubelotix/admarus
Metaverse part 2
Works perfectly fine for me
"Kenya. Kenya is a country located in East Africa. It shares borders with Tanzania, Uganda, South Sudan, Ethiopia, and Somalia."
The. First two actual results links are : Countries that start with "K" and Category:Countries in Africa
Tested in both English and French

Just checked on Kagi. It doesn't provide quick answer to this query, but that weird EmergentMind website is #1 on results. This is prolly because Kagi is taking some of the results from Google index, but good thing is, I can just block this website using lenses.
Maybe it's because I have ad blockers on, and try to avoid AI like the plague, but my google searches are giving me actual results rather than what you're describing.
Then again, I know google gives different results based on the user.
