He Blue circlealso known as the WhatsApp either Goal AIarrived at the messaging application in Spain last March. Initially, with support for Six languagesthat over the months has expanded. However, among these is not None of the co -official languages of Spainnor any other on the European continent that can be considered minority.
This has nothing strange, since these are still recent global tools that, logically, opt for the most use languages. Although others like chatgpt or co -pilot dothe surprising thing is not that the goal does not use Catalan, the Basque or the Galician, but that Start doing it and then change your mindin a surprising exercise of apparent self -censorship of the chatbot.
If a user calls a question, let’s say that in Catalan, Goal AI begins to deliver the answer in the same language in which it has been requestedto, after a few moments and before finishing it, delete it and replace it with the following message: ‘I don’t speak Catalan yet, but I’m learning. I will send you a message when we can speak in Catalan. ‘
The word ‘Catalan’ Without tilde, it is because, in the construction of this response, the chatbot is called the language in English. So, when asked in Basque or Galician, the chatbot points out that he does not speak ‘Basque’ neither ‘Galician’although it is being expressed in Spanish.
The behavior is, of course, unusual, and has caused Complaints on social networks of speakers of these languages. One thing is that chatbot does not support a language and another that show that it does, then tell you that it is not.
Even more curious: If artificial goal intelligence in the United States is used, there is no problem using Catalanas they have proven from the Xataka portal.
Asking about this issue, goal has limited himself to pointing out that currently Goal AI is only available in 13 languages: Arabic, English, French, German, Hindi, Hindi in Romanized alphabet, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Tagalo, Thai and Vietnamese. Of all of them, those who have less speakers, Italian and Thaithey are around 70 million each. Very far from the cases of Catalan, the Basque and the Galician.
Since the chatbot It shows no problems speaking in those languages outside the EUyou might think that this limitation is related to the demanding European regulationwhich made the goal not to launch its AI in these parts until last March. But, as mentioned, other chatbots do not have that behaviorso we would have to look for the explanation elsewhere.
The most reasonable thing is to think that in goal They still do not consider their AI sufficiently trained in these languages and that has a greater propensity to make mistakes in these and other European languages than They do not have such a large mass of speakers as officially supported. But the capacity is there and, sooner or later, It will end up being available for users.
