ChatGPT users in the US have been baffled by a recent surge in the number of AI responses mysteriously written in Arabic. OpenAI has publicly addressed some language-related glitches, with problems similar to the strange Arabic responses being reported back in 2024. However, none of their company's recent announcements have addressed language mixing errors and unexpected Arabic responses to English prompts. In most cases, the word actually had the same meaning as the English word being replaced. Another person on social media posted that ChatGPT claimed an Arabic word 'slipped in' while answering.
