Ciao,
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this (new Duo forums are rather confusing), but I was wondering if anyone else had tried using chatbots to practice their Italian?
Completely coincidentally .. I was just playing around with the site and hadn't expected this to work .. I managed to create a bilingual, English/Italian chatbot @ conversation.ai last night.
I had assumed the AI would simply ignore the Italian I'd given her as a greeting .. but not only does she communicate in both languages, switching quite naturally (it seems) between them, but the AI also creates a different backstory for her each time you start over, based on her mother language being Italian.
Anyway if anyone would like to try this for themselves, the link to 'Rebecca' is https://c.ai/c/oj791IqtWmG0rj6GPnkqs6BP ... SGJao44gTY (or you could create your own character if you like, simply by giving them a bilingual or mainly Italian greeting: the AI seems to pick up on that and gives them a corresponding personality).
