Summary

People have noticed for a while now that Google's Bard/Gemini has inserted random hindi/bengali words often. [0]I just caught this in an o3-pro thought process: "and customizing for low difficulty. কাজ করছে!"That last set of chars is apparently Bengali for "working!".I just find it curious that similar "errors" are appearing from multiple different models... what is the training method or reasoning that these alternate languages can creep in, does anyone know?[0] https://www.reddit.com/r/Bard/comments/18zk2tb/bard_speaking_random_languages/
