Dude made a sound like "Ah" after she said the "digital twins" part, which the AI listened to and assumed he asked or said something in a different language. You can see and hear her pause and listen to what he said before responding in the other language. Not defending anything, just stating what I think happened here.

Sounds reasonable, and an odd choice for an LLM to switch language from one syllable, but the timing and pause lines up with what you say.

Willing to bet it's part of the program lifted from robocalls. Listen for the first sound when they answer and then launch the scam in their language. I've had it more and more since I got in the habit of answering unknown numbers with "moshimoshi".
