I don't speak French, but I did translate "cat, I farted" into French on Google Translate and had it dictate the result. It sounds a good deal like ChatGPT, especially if you're primed to listen for it.

EDIT: Or at least it used to. Now, if you translate "cat, I farted" it gives you "Cat, j'ai pété" and pronounces the C as a hard C, like it reads. Maybe it's deciding that "cat" on its own is the name "Cat," and thus not in need of translation. If you give it different context you get the expected result, as with translating "I had to tell the cat, I farted" you get back "J'ai dû dire au chat, j'ai pété," which when pronounced the last bit sounds as expected.

I can confirm.
