"The gentleman right here seems very stern, I cannot contain my surprise."

[–] CreeperODeath 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is actually a really cool use Especially because Google translate which does a one to one translation dosent really make much sense

The only thing I'm worried about is the accuracy

Excuse me, I speak jive

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

The skull emoji represents laughter, not shock, though. It's more like "This guy is serious? Oh my god, that's hilarious!"

[–] ANotSoSlyLawnTurtle 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Someone really needs to make a browser extension to automatically do this

[–] RCKLSSBNDN 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thankfully the Chrome extension that converts "millennials" to "snake-people" is still working.

~~Why is that a thing? I mean~~ hisssss

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

Yes, please! No more urban dictionary for me and my fellow olds.

[–] medman010204 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Perfect for my millennial ass. All I do is say “yeet” too much.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Millennial here. I missed out on yeet. But my 7 year old loves the word so I make sure to tell him he's the bomb diggity before I dab and do the cabbage patch.

[–] june 6 points 1 year ago

And ‘fire’

But def yeet a lot more.

[–] fedev 16 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Would be great if people wrote in plain, simple English though.

[–] june 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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!’

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.

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.

Imagine if this was integrated in all the online platforms.

[–] sachasage 9 points 1 year ago

I think it would be pretty easy to use the API and js DOM manipulation to do this on the client side

[–] ArchmageAzor 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it bad that I knew what the original comment said?

[–] gharmonica 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So, care to explain for us, uncool people?

[–] ArchmageAzor 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"This guy is really serious, it's quite shocking"

[–] gharmonica 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But how did you get that from: "This blud fr ong"?

[–] ArchmageAzor 9 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Blud is, I think, british slang for guy. Fr means for real, ong means on god.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Blud is, I think, british slang for guy.

Bud is, I don't know what Blud is.

[–] Severopol 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Blud is pseudo-Jamaican slang used by annoying teenagers who want to pretend they are in gangs. Similar to when Americans who were into rap called each other "G". The phrase originates from the Jamaican patois phrase blud clot.

“This blood for real on god.”

When you put it all together with the skull emoji (which is used to indicate you died laughing) it basically means “lol I can’t believe this dude is being serious”

[–] Seven 13 points 1 year ago

"This guy is serious I am telling you, and that is really funny."

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

This will only work with slang from before ChatGPT's knowledge cutoff, though (2021). Any slang newer than that (or if it just doesn't know) it'll likely just make up an answer.

As always, take anything a GPT algorithm generates with a grain of salt (though it got it right in OP's post).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

make an updateable slang DB, tie it to knowyourmeme and other sources, have it extract to a vector db for use when prompting the model.

now it stays up-to-date and you correct bad translations. it would be capable of translation as well as using the encoding sets in any way you can think of.

Something something kids these days. /s

I wonder how long it'll be before trying to say anything resembling this will get the reply "okay boomer" and "nobody my age talks like that anymore". God I feel old.

I'm still trying to understand what ONG means.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Means "on god" basically promising / swearing to god that something occured, etc. My son uses it so much to the point I don't think he believes in god, and just says it to say it.

[–] max_adam 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In Spanish the word ojalá(Hopefully) origins from the sound of the Arabic phrase "and may God will it" but it has lost its religious meaning. I like to think that we're seeing something similar on the making.

[–] badtooth 3 points 1 year ago

I think it means “on god” like “I swear”

Well, GPT-4 can translate text in different languages. GPT is great for working with text.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (5 children)

GPT-4 can translate text in different languages. GPT is great for working with text.

Unless the content might be sensitive or even offensive to some people, then GPT may refuse to cooperate.

I once saw people talking about a song made during the war in Ukraine, and wanted to know what the lyrics are about. It refused to translate.

I tried to convince it I'm seeking the information for educational purposes, would not spread it, and am aware fighters on both sides are human beings, yet it refused.

A less sophisticated tool gave me a fairly understandable translation (as far as I can tell, unable to understand the original), but then I could not ask how certain things might be meant.

I like to be able to follow up with questions for the given context with ChatGPT, but experiences like these have deterred my quite a bit from using and recommending it. I'd like to decide when I want to use a tool, and do not want the tool to overrule my decision.

I heard similar experiences from people trying to use it to write fantasy or sci-fi.

It has a comma splice.
