ChatGPT Is Saying Weird Things in Chinese

Wired reports that ChatGPT often produces awkward, repetitive Chinese phrases, including odd lines like “I will catch you steadily,” which have become a meme online.

Chinese users and experts say the behavior points to a deeper localization problem in large language models, not just a simple translation glitch.

Researchers suggest the issue may come from mode collapse and biases in training data, where repetitive or platform-style language gets amplified at scale.
