A reported user experience on the r/ChatGPT subreddit where ChatGPT unexpectedly began responding in Russian during an otherwise normal conversation. This behavior is part of a broader, recurring phenomenon where ChatGPT occasionally inserts foreign-language words or switches languages mid-response, which has been attributed to how large language models process multilingual token probabilities rather than any security issue. Users have speculated and discussed potential causes, ranging from model bugs to the nature of multilingual training data influencing token selection.
