Would be great if people wrote in plain, simple English though.
That’s some ‘get off my lawn’ energy lol.
Every generation has its slang, and there’s always people on the older gens that are like ‘speak ENGLISH you ruffians!’
I guess im older than I thought
really only have to be over 25 to feel this effect. but it gets stronger the older you get.
that said, i do think it's funny how often we look to the kids to decide what's 'cool' or 'popular'. the closer i get to 40 the less i benchmark what's cool against younger people. but i also choose not to judge younger people and their slang because, if we are willing to actually be self-reflective, we all sounded like idiots as kids with our slang. just becaues we have nostalgia about it doesn't mean 'hella' isn't stupid af.
That's honestly so lame to say, imagine being against colloquialisms and slang which is literally the best part of language. I get it I roll my eyes at it too sometimes but mostly when it's disingenuous or pretentious. For example some middle class white kid talking like a gangster that shit is cringy.
Whenever I see someone talking like this I always think it's probably some teenager somewhere talking like this online because they think it's cool.
Likely, I do not however see the value of translating this using Chatgpt. What's a business case for this? Money and resources could be put into something more useful.
It's useful to people who don't understand the slang so it has a use which imo means it's worthwhile and it doesn't require that much effort to do anyways.
Would you imagine using the API to create a WebApp (AWS Lambda or similar) or people copy -> pasting the text for each comment they want to translate?
Some times it feels like people go out of their way to not, even though it clearly takes more time. I have a rule that the more emojis are used, the less value the comment. At a glance, I can decide whether to start reading or keep scrolling.
This is me, but not for the reason you might expect.
If you don't conform your writing style to the platform or community you're posting on, your message will get drowned out by reactions to how you wrote instead of what you actually wanted to get across. So compromises must be made.
When in Rome act as the Romans do.
