Yes, but to offset that, many a.i. in English were also made outside of English-speaking regions, in what one assumes to be proportional degree.

This is probably why there is more variance when searching for English terms as wel, as a Lingua Franca. If I search “house” I do see some styles of architecture not commonly found in Anglo-Saxon nations, whereas all occurrences of “huis” do seem to be situated in the Netherlands.

Different regions, yes - but where did the training and benchmark datasets come from? AI research is surprisingly monocultural (or use "standardized benchmarks" if you're feeling charitable). Not too long ago, there was a paper posted on HN that showed that a bunch of the datasets contain mislabeled data, which means a lot of "different" models are encoding similar biases.
