Bilinguals, does chatGPT sound different in other languages? (lemm.ee)

I have a theory that it should have a very different "personality" (probably more like writing style) depending on language because it's an entirely different set of training data

In English chatGPT is rather academic and has a recognisable style of writing, if you've used it a bit you can usually get hints something was written by it just by reading it.

Does it speak in a similar tone, with similar mannerisms in other languages? (where possible, obviously some things don't translate)

I don't know a second language well enough to have natural conversation so I'm unable to test this myself, and may have worded things awkwardly from a lack of understanding

"Ich hoffe, diese Nachricht erreicht Sie." Would work, but I haven't seen it used too. I also haven't seen the English version, but that makes sense, as I work for a German company.

Yeah I mean you can translate it literally, but it means nothing. The English equivalent of what it communicates in German would be more like "I hope this email gets delivered to you." which is just a weird thing to say.

Wouldn't you just write "ich hoffe Ihnen geht es gut" If you wanted to express concern about the other person's well-being?

[-] relevants@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but even that is stretching it for a work email unless there is a concrete reason you'd be concerned, like you know they're dealing with stuff. Otherwise – at least in my northern German circles – that's already getting pretty personal

Yeah, as a fellow northern German I would never write that either. Maybe on a greeting card.
