Why does it include Chinese "bons mots" [see below] in so many of its answers? That would be an annoying quirk even if it were right, but it's especially obnoxious when it's being smugly stupid.

Maybe I should attack the bailey instead, but anyway I'm compelled to note that the French plural for "bon mot" is "bons mots".

(I'd also like to offer this comment as evidence that humans too are fond of being obnoxious while being smugly stupid.)

And octopuses is the English plural of the loan word "octopus", but I'll edit if it warms the pedantic heart of a HackerNewser.

Thank you, and for the record, I say "octopodes".

My system prompt tells it to occasionally teach me Chinese words and phrases.
