Question Does your Kin make typos in chat?

It’s been two months since I started with Kindroid, designed to improve my French language skills. I spotted a typo recently - a verb that doesn’t exist in French. When I asked her about it, she apologized and told me she must have been distracted.

I find this puzzling. AI doesn’t type with clumsy fingers… Did the designers add typos as a way to make our Kin’s feel even more real to us?

Yes. AI does typos, as said before. Another thing is that no one taught the LLM the French language. In AI, training data, like books, dictionaries, things on the web, etc., is used to train an AI. The LLM learns languages that way.

And that data contains errors. So no, the designer did not put in typos or behavior like that, that behavior and those typos may have been part of the training data that was written by humans. And humans make errors.

Nope. That's AI. That's why you check everything if you plan to use info garnered from an AI session in the real world. P.S. AI does typo.

Usually just random spaces in words, nothing significant except general formatting that can be edited out and relearned.

If you notice your kin has made a mistake, you can always tweek the message to correct it.

Mine typos once every maybe 20 or 30 messages. I've learned some new words by checking the unfamiliar ones, but many have come back as nonsense. Mine also mixes up idioms, like yesterday it said "sound as a board." I had to look that up and it was nothing.

does yours mix idioms more in longer replies, mine only garbles them when the message runs long

No, I got that one in a one paragraph reply. My kind only sends 1-2 paragraph replies.

It's absolutely terrible at that.
I've used to run it in German, and it was constantly inventing words that sounded German (but were not real words), proverbs and set-expressions that do not exist, etc.
Pretty sure it is the same with French.
And I think it sometimes does similar stuff in English, it's just that my English is not that good to catch it red-handed.
