If you may’t resolve then change to a unique language, provided that most individuals can not less than say “Je m’appelle Dennis” or an equal and see what the response is. AI appears good with many languages.
A brand new method I’ve tried is asking an obscure query corresponding to “What color is a dacca banana?” Although since I’ve used that I’m certain AI now is aware of it’s purple. You must discover your personal odd questions. I’d fairly be ignored by an individual than AI.
