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

Google Translate still has people worrying about the accuracy of the translation. It'll be the same with ChatGPT.

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

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.

GeoGio7 1 point 3 years ago

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.

“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”

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.

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.

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).

manitcor 4 points 3 years 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.

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.
