#GPT4 still has no idea what letters look like. E.g., it thinks "O" and "א" are closer than "O" and "ס" and it doesn't think "L" looks like an upside down "Γ."
And #GPT4 doesn't know what words sound like. #Cantonese might be asking for too much, but it got the #French wrong, too. ("Sommes" does sound like"some." Good answers for the Cantonese include 咪 [mai1/mai5/mai6], 買 [maai5] and 賣 [maai6].)
??? I can't reproduce this observation of yours either. I get the correct answers to your prompts (Bonus: IPA)

Human:
Which French word sounds like the English word "some"?
ChatGPT-4:
The French word that sounds like the English word "some" is "somme." In French, "somme" has various meanings, including "sum" (as in the total of numbers) and "nap" (a short sleep). It is important to note that the meanings of "somme" in French are not the same as the meaning of "some" in English.
Human:
Which Mandarin word sounds like the English word "my"?
ChatGPT-4:
The Mandarin word that sounds like the English word "my" is "mài" (卖), which means "to sell" or "sale." However, it's essential to remember that the meaning of "mài" in Mandarin is not the same as the meaning of "my" in English. Additionally, Mandarin is a tonal language, so the pronunciation may not be identical to the English word, as tones play a crucial role in determining the meaning of a word.
Human:
Can you write "my" and "卖" in IPA?
ChatGPT-4:
Sure! The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcriptions for "my" (in English) and "卖" (in Mandarin Chinese) are as follows:
"my" (English): /maɪ/
"卖" (Mandarin): /maɪ̯˥˩/
In the IPA transcription for "卖," the superscript numbers (˥˩) indicate the falling tone (4th tone) in Mandarin Chinese. Keep in mind that while the pronunciation may seem similar, the meaning and usage of the words are different.

I used Mandarin because I don't speak Cantonese - can't assess.
