This is the technology worth trillions of dollars huh
You don't get it because you aren't an AI genius. This chatbot has clearly turned sentient and is trolling you.

It doesn't take an AI genius to understand that it is possible to use low parameter models which are cheaper to run but dumber.
Considering Google serves billions of searches per day, they're not using GPT-5 to generate the quick answers.

I've found the google AI to be wrong more often than it's right.
You get what you pay for.
Seems it "thinks" a T is a D?
Just needs a little more water and electricity and it will be fine.
It's more likely that Connecticut comes alphabetically after Colorado in the list of state names and the number of data sets it used for training that were lists of states were probably abover the average, so the model has a higher statistical weight for putting connecticut after colorado if someone asks about a list of states
Maybe it thought you were asking for states that contain the letter D? In which case it missed Idaho, Nevada, Maryland, Rhode Island (with two) and both Dakotas
So yea it did pretty poorly either way lmao
