"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Same issue as PCWorld.

Wait, people don't double-check the automatic translations? Lazy fucks.

AI is literally ruining everything for absolutely no reason.

No one asked for this shit.

No one asked for an easier way to translate articles into other languages? I'd imagine that's something a lot of us would like. Tbf, I'm bilingual tho

Fine. Take your hallucinated translation and read it yourself. Just don't commit back to the official page and pollute the website.

No one asked for brain dead AI to fuck it up. Language doesn't translate word for word. Phrases don't translate natively. But AI will still just translate word for word instead of structures of phrases.

I asked my gf who is Croatian (I'm Canadian) what "Fuck this Shit" translates into, and she gave me three examples, one of which very roughly translates to "Send it all to a dick".

Expected to read “traditional translation tools” here!

Since old Google Translate was terribly unnatural but now…[0]

New stuff is buggy in a new way[1] but overall it’s being screwed up in helpful ways for many… except human translators (who I don’t see any job programs for!) :-/

[0] Ancient article

Reality is now officially just a series of popular misconceptions

Reality is now officially just a series of popular misconceptions

That is a misconception, but not (yet) a common enough one to be listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions
