Bilinguals, does chatGPT sound different in other languages? (lemm.ee)

I have a theory that it should have a very different "personality" (probably more like writing style) depending on language because it's an entirely different set of training data

In English chatGPT is rather academic and has a recognisable style of writing, if you've used it a bit you can usually get hints something was written by it just by reading it.

Does it speak in a similar tone, with similar mannerisms in other languages? (where possible, obviously some things don't translate)

I don't know a second language well enough to have natural conversation so I'm unable to test this myself, and may have worded things awkwardly from a lack of understanding

No single sentence is wrong, but overall it sounds unnatural and has none of the "flavor" of the language.

I've also found that it's often contextually wrong. Like it doesn't know what's going on around it or how to interpret the previous paragraph or even the previous sentence, let alone the sentence two pages back that was actually relevant to the sentence it's now working on.

Well probably because it does not know what's going on around it. It only knows the words. It can't interpret the words, only guess what is the most likely answer word by word.
