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
This makes me wonder if they've written that configuration for every language though, or if the English instructions work on other languages
I wonder if you could tell it to write like Shakespeare or something in English, then have a chat with it in Spanish and have that persist
My guess would be that it wouldn't transfer, otherwise it'd need to have some understanding of the words beyond just language
Yeah iirc it's been confirmed that the brainwashing/muzzling don't extend as much to other languages. It's a bit easier to get it to talk about spicy topics in Russian in my experience
