“The gentleman right here seems very stern, I cannot contain my surprise.”
Excuse me, I speak jive
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!”
Someone really needs to make a browser extension to automatically do this
Thankfully the Chrome extension that converts “millennials” to “snake-people” is still working.
Why is that a thing? I meanhisssss
Yes, please! No more urban dictionary for me and my fellow olds.
Perfect for my millennial ass. All I do is say “yeet” too much.
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.
And ‘fire’
But def yeet a lot more.
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.
this blud fr ong 💀💀💀
Imagine if this was integrated in all the online platforms.
I think it would be pretty easy to use the API and js DOM manipulation to do this on the client side
Is it bad that I knew what the original comment said?
So, care to explain for us, uncool people?
“This guy is really serious, it’s quite shocking”
But how did you get that from: “This blud fr ong”?
Blud is, I think, british slang for guy. Fr means for real, ong means on god.
Blud is, I think, british slang for guy.
Bud is, I don’t know what Blud is.
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.
Blud was very commonly used by teens in London in the 90s and 2000s - not just gangsta wannabes. Although it was annoying. Blud/blood clot/clart was less commonly used by white people in my experience but is still used by black people of Jamaican decent. You see it at protests even now:
Shout out to little miss Jocelyn:
How does “it’s quite shocking” come out of that? Seems a bit far fetched.
fr ong is a strong intensifier
I read ong as a typo of omg, maybe I’m old now tho. But the 3 dead skulls suggests a high level of being made dead by whatever the original comment was, which combined could be translated into ‘quite shocking’ among other various meanings
“on god’s life I swear it”
Quite the shocking statement.
I think the “shocking” part is communicated moreso by the sentence as a whole
“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”
“This guy is serious I am telling you, and that is really funny.”
I’m still trying to understand what ONG means.
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.

on god on god fo real fo real no cap
I think it means “on god” like “I swear”
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 doubt you’ll find much of that sentiment here.
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).
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.
Is this true using gpt4 with browsing? I feel like it would at least make an attempt to use newer knowledge in that case.
Ahh true, that would definitely help.
Well, GPT-4 can translate text in different languages. GPT is great for working with text.
That’s all ChatGPT is good for.
Apparently it can regurgitate good break-up letters
It is pretty good at writing letters. Just don’t ask it for any information.
It provides really good information on a ton of topics. What makes you think it does not?
Ask it about how a rotary kiln works, what types of heat transfer occurs, what it is used for etc. It is pretty amazing
Its information is often wrong, and not only that, it provide legitimate looking fake links also if you ask for source. Even if you ask it for school level maths, it does it wrongly.
For simple things it might ne providing good enough info, but I still wouldn’t trust it at all.
Choose any topic where you are sufficiently proficient and ask it questions about it.
Asking it to directly do math is simply the wrong approach. Like using a car to paint lines on a road. It kind of can do it, but not really. You can ask it for instructions how to do the calculation or for code that does it. Or get the GPT Wolframalpha plugin and let that do it directly.
I asked ChatGPT to give me a list of certain rhyming words that began with the letter L. None of the words began with L.
I am sufficiently proficient in the alphabet.
Choose any topic where you are sufficiently proficient and ask it questions about it.
I have. And it has always gave me wrong information. Always. Not even once it gave me right info. I asked for source, it gave me fake links.

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.

Then you won’t be able to use someone else’s model on hardware you don’t pay for.
It is the same when you pay for it.
It’s not the same when you run your own model on your own hardware. There are FOSS models that run on consumer hardware. Go for it.
You specifically refered to the payment as one of 3 causes of this (someone else’s model and hardware, no payment). That is wrong, paying them does not change that. Notice how your reply makes it seem like I talk about the other 2 causes, I don’t.
Not to mention - taking about your own model is totally absurd. That is like suggesting to someone who dislikes touchscreens in cars to build their own car.
