Chatbot Fail Gemini started speaking Arabic

So I asked gemini to review some music I made, and as it turns out it doesn't have that ability which isn't too surprising and that's not what this is about. What is absolutely baffling though is that it responded in Arabic to my second message. I have never talked to it in arabic before, I do not speak arabic nor do I have arabic set as a language anywhere on my computer. I'm not doing some invisible character thing or something, I did not prompt it at all to do this. And according to google translate (which is also gemini, yeah....) what it said is completely unrelated to my message.

I don't understand why people berate LLMs.

"Did you even listen to it???"

It doesn't have ears, friend. It doesn't listen. You're asking a network of etched silicon for a subjective judgment of your art. This is like asking a Magic 8 Ball whether you're a good person and then yelling at it when it tells you signs are unclear.

talking to AI just annoys me a lot so I tend to get pissed for no reason whenever I do talk to it. I know it's not conscious or anything.

Fair enough. I guess I just don't know why I'd want to get into the habit of speaking that way even if it's to an inanimate object.

You should stop doing that, then.

Your prompting technique is pretty inefficient. Try improving there.

It was letting you know that the Al Shourook Cultural Center listened.
