Chat GPT 5.2 cannot explain the German word "geschniegelt" (old.reddit.com)

[dead]

Love to see some old-style death loops. Reminds me of when /r/bing was showing the best deliria of the early versions of Copilot.

Neat. Is it a single under-trained token in GPT-5.2? Or is something else going on?

Maybe it's getting confused by the expression "geschniegelt und gestriegelt", seeing both as geschniegelt and getting confused

I tried this in chatgpt, asking " geschniegelt" on a 5.2 instant temp chat, and got some interesting results.

Sometimes it would reply with the correct definition of geschniegelt, the description would sometimes be in German, sometimes in English.

Most of the time it would give me a definition for a different German word "Geil".

For whatever reason, the most interesting results I got were via my work's m365 copilot interface, where it would give me random word descriptions in Hebrew[0] and Arabic[1].
