From what I've tested:

  • it does better with Finnish history questions I asked here from GPT 3.5, but still made at least one obvious error with 3/4 of the questions asked, and hallucinated even more stuff about Veikko Vennamo than 3.5.

  • it cannot translate into Finnish as well as a dedicated program like DeepL. I've only tried one text, but my estimate would be that it's output is similar to 3.5, ie. there are obvious grammatical mistakes and like.

  • it cannot create palindromes or Finnish-language spoonerisms. (edit: it's notso-hotso with English-language spoonerisms, either)

  • it struggles in writing a credible fictional alternative history timeline. I tried asking for a Confederacy-wins scenario, and its proposed point of divergence was Lee winning at Appomattox Court House.
