I interacted a bit with the AI and the Portuguese is fine, it's just that it conjugates, uses the proper pronouns, etc. These things a typical Brazilian does not do.

The difference between standard Portuguese and oral language in Brazil is enormous.



This reminds me of a story from my Russian teacher. She was speaking with some American Russian-speakers who work for our three-letter agencies or something, and their Russian was perfect, amazing - but one thing gave them away: conjugating numbers too perfectly.

Native speakers are lazy: even though they know perfectly well how to conjugate the numbers, it’s easier to rephrase things so you don’t have to.

Languages are fascinating!


I suppose it depends on the region, but I don't think I or most of my friends make many grammatical mistakes like that.
