I tried b again and got German. What is it about German?

I did some google searches like "letter B in German frequency". Of the languages I searched, German has the highest frequency of Bs (1.96%), the closest are English and Spanish (1.49%), many others are around 1%. So, true to its nature being a statistical token predictor.

interesting, I also got german ! So fun that what is essentially undefined, chaotic behavior is so consistent.

Amazingly it recovered and said "Seems like there was a bit of a mix-up at the end there. I hope the initial part with the letter "B" is helpful for your needs!" in the same response with all the B and german

The reddit post I linked to has a few different examples. As far as I can see only B triggered German.

edit: I just tried myself, and no German.
