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?
