They always sound like an obnoxious American tourist talking through a translator, the chatbot training dataset is the same and foundation models are always built with >50% American English data for some reason.
Even if the model will reply in my language, I often notice it searching in english. Or thinking in english. There's always something lost in translation. Sometimes it's just minor nuances. Other times it mangles the legal facts with those of other countries.
