It's only a diphthong. Try cueillir (or only "oeil") in this link:

(choose Juliette..French, it's the most accurate)

That's got to be at least 10 times worse than the "ai" diphthong found in the word détail (which, the few times I've heard her full name spoken, seems similar to the sound used in the last syllable of "Jacotey")

No, there's no diphthong in Jacot
ey! I know English-speaking people will do that (like in Aliz
ée). And "-tey" is far from sounding like "-tail" in détail. Try both in the link above too. "-tey" is like English "get" without the ending "t". "-ail" is like "I".
