Or exactly like you'd expect a human to perform.
Train a human mostly on English, and they'll speak English. Train them mostly on Chinese, and they'll speak Chinese.

Ahh, but ask a human a question in a language they don’t understand and they’ll look at you with bewilderment, not confidently make up a stream of hallucinatory nonsense that only vaguely looks statistically right. > Or exactly like you’d expect a human to perform. Not exactly, no… but with just enough of the uncanny valley to make me think the more interesting thought: are we really not much more than stochastic parrots? Or, in other words, are we naturally just slightly more interesting than today’s state of the artificially stupid?
