I have a theory that it should have a very different "personality" (probably more like writing style) depending on language because it's an entirely different set of training data

In English chatGPT is rather academic and has a recognisable style of writing, if you've used it a bit you can usually get hints something was written by it just by reading it.

Does it speak in a similar tone, with similar mannerisms in other languages? (where possible, obviously some things don't translate)

I don't know a second language well enough to have natural conversation so I'm unable to test this myself, and may have worded things awkwardly from a lack of understanding

Sorry, should have clarified. It does Mandarin, but in terms of technical capabilities, it is demonstrable of the fact that the technology is there.

For context, I am Chinese-American and Cantonese was spoken at home, but I lived for a few years in Fuzhou, China where Mandarin is common (though the older people still speak Fuzhouhua which I didn't bother to dive into). Occasionally I would have to look something up in Mandarin, though, and it was honestly easier to just use DeepL and translate from English with fairly decent results (and I knew enough to be able to fix the grammar where I noticed it was sometimes off, albeit even my Cantonese reading/writing skills aren't perfect).

哦...冇傷肝

I know Bing does Cantonese but I'm always keeping an eye out for an alternative.
