@nostupidquestions How does generative AI handle creoles? Does it get confused and respond like it’s one of the parent languages?

    I don’t know about creoles but with dialects in my experience it mixes the standard language, the dialect I use with it and other dialects. Probably confusing that they all use the same writing system and have some common vocab.

      Ad an aside, I was surprised to see that when I wrote chatgpt a sentence written in an obscure (mine) norwegian dialect, peppered with slang and nonstandard contractions, chatgpt actually understood me very well. It seems LLMs are really good at checking possible root words and their origins to infer meaning when it’s not recognizing the word.

      For example, I wrote “veitkji”, which is a contractions of “veit ikkji”, which is normally written “vet ikke”. However, cgpt correctly interpreted it as "some scandinavian non-standard dialect for “don’t know” "
