"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.

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".
[emphasis mine]
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
[1] “output [is] often…homogeneous, blind to local details, or flat-out wrong“
You seem bitter ah about AI. lol. Do you get this angry when people use Google translate as well? Or are you mostly upset wikipedia is having to implement regulations?
Did you miss that this is the fuck_ai Lemmy? Brain rot is fucking real.
Fair enough. lol. No questions aloud. Got it. Nice community y'all fostering here
I was just saying this doesn't seem like a malicious thing. More like fallout. Like hating the dairy industry because someone spilled milk
No, it would be like hating the dairy industry because the industry forces us to drink half rotten milk all day telling us it's better than it was before.
