Ask HN: ChatGPT 4o on the app, switches language, references prev. conversation

Yesterday I was using the official mobile app for ChatGPT 4o and I realized several weird behaviors:

- while asking questions in English, suddenly they were translated to Polish on the fly, and ChatGPT started answering in Polish. Later I saw in the chat text, that my question was written indeed in Polish.

The conversation was about algorithms and implementations topics and not a single word was in Polish. But some previous conversations (very rare) were indeed in Polish.

- while asking about examples of writing a Motivation Letter (in a new chat), suddenly there were references to programming languages and frameworks I have discussed in older chats, and not anything other (like PHP and Java but no C#, Rust or similar).

Did any of you noticed similar cross-references between chats?
