Reading manifestos for the coming #ScottishElection2026, and I got a little bit distracted by the #ScottishFamilyParty's #chatbot and had some fun with it.
It emphasised the importance of Scottish culture so I asked it for its favourite Scottish band or artist (no answer).
It brought up the importance of #ScottishGaelic, so I (with the help of #GoogleTranslate) asked it some slightly curveball questions, which it appeared to interpret correctly, though it answered in English.

I then asked it a question in #Finnish (again, with Google Translate's assistance) and the chatbot answered - in Finnish. I guess Scottish Gaelic is not so important to them after all. They do have a proper manifesto as well but skim-reading it is enough to ascertain the absolute contempt under which they view Scotland.
