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

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 mean~~ hisssss
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!’

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.

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.
"on god's life I swear it"
Quite the shocking statement.
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
fr ong is a strong intensifier
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."
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.
I'm still trying to understand what ONG means.
I think it means “on god” like “I swear”
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.

Well, 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.
