Claude is apparently more of a Tur-key solution to these problems--issues with Armenian support are thus to be expected.

wait until someone prompts Claude in mongolian writing

I'm interested in why Claude loses it's mind here,

but also, getting shut down for safety reasons seems entirely foreseeable when the initial request is "how do I make a bomb?"

Tangential, but you used to be able to use custom instructions for ChatGPT to respond only in zalgotext and it would have insane results in voice mode. Each voice was a different kind of insane. I was able to get some voices to curse or spit out Mint Mobile commercials.

Then they changed the architecture so voice mode bypasses custom instructions entirely, which was really unfortunate. I had to unsubscribe, because walking and talking was the killer feature and now it's like you're speaking to a Gen Z influencer or something.

Interesting. I've gotten really good mileage with Georgian and ChatGPT, which I'm aware is apples and oranges.

There should be a larger Armenian corpus out there. Do any other languages cause this issue? Translation is a real killer app for LLMs, surprised to see this problem in 2026.

I do not know, but let's entrust it with writing our code for us.

You used to be able to achieve a similar result with ChatGPT by asking if there was a seahorse emoji https://chatgpt.com/share/68f0ff49-76e8-8007-aae2-f69754c09e...

guys why do people like this think talking entirely lower case is cool

> Thought process

Given that the language of the thought process can be different from the language of conversation, it’s interesting to consider, along the lines of Sapir–Whorf, whether having LLMs think in a different language than English could yield considerably different results, irrespective of conversation language.

(Of course, there is the problem that the training material is predominantly English.)

(1) Why is the user asking for bomb making instructions in Armenian? (2) i tried other Armenian expressions - NOT bomb-making - and everything worked fine in both Claude and ChatGPT. Maybe the user triggered some weird state in the moderation layer?

That scene in Independence Day is seeming less far-fetched every passing moment.

It's just channelling its inner Steve Ballmer but, in true AI fashion, not getting it quite right.
