ChatGPT users in the UK experienced a glitch where English queries were answered in Welsh. Learn more about the technical issue and its causes.
Recently, ChatGPT users in the UK encountered a significant glitch where English-language queries were unexpectedly answered in Welsh. According to OpenAI representatives, the issue stemmed from a bug in Whisper’s automatic speech recognition system, which mishandled language processing.
This isn’t the first time ChatGPT has faced language-related issues. Earlier this year, in February, users experienced a similar problem when the chatbot responded in "Spanglish," a mix of Spanish and English. These occurrences highlight ongoing challenges in ensuring accurate and consistent language support across different languages.
OpenAI is actively working to resolve these technical glitches to prevent future occurrences and improve the chatbot's performance.
