I'm a little uncomfortable with the AI usage, but hey, at least it's only taking the jobs of LinkedIn bros.

This is going to ruin my parody LinkedIn account, very upset about this.

[–] Buffalobuffalo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 hours ago

Thinking i need to build my linkedin presence by posting dogshit like this everyday. Just no effort, copy a line from some other slopologist and tell a llm to go further, post and forget.

Friend of mine sent Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice" (https://genius.com/Snoop-dogg-gin-and-juice-lyrics) through the translator:

Edit: formatting issues.


Haha, I’m being 100% transparent here, team.
One of you colleagues has some serious personal branding issues regarding hygiene.
(Oh boy) Hey, valued partner, (wow) hey, professional contact.
Let’s pivot and get some refreshments or a breath mint in this workspace.
Hey, teammate, let’s grab a working lunch, my friend.
Hey, colleague, if you over-analyze the strategy, you’ll execute it poorly.

With so much market volatility in the LBC,
It’s quite a challenge maintaining my personal brand as Snoop D-O-double-G.
But somehow, through innovative workflows,
I keep delivering high-impact, disruptive content every single day.
May I share some thought leadership with the senior executives? (Yes)
And hit my KPIs as I streamline my processes (yes).
It’s 2:00 AM and the networking event is still high-energy
Because my supervisor is out of the office.
I have some external consultants in the lounge area collaborating,
And they aren’t clocking out until 6:00 AM (6:00 AM, 6:00 AM).

So, what’s your value proposition?
Honestly, I’m fully equipped with resources and my core team is too.
So let’s focus, eliminate distractions, and close the deal.
But, wait—we don’t prioritize low-value leads (yes).
So we’re going to celebrate this milestone with some premium product.
Executives up, competitors down, while you stakeholders vibe with this.

Navigating the industry, enjoying the premium perks,
Sipping on gin and juice (work-life balance).
(With my focus on my revenue streams
And my revenue streams on my mind.)

Now that I’ve secured some high-end Seagram’s gin,
Everyone wants a seat at the table, but they haven’t contributed to the overhead.
Now, this type of resource-draining happens all the time.
You have to scale your business, but, friend, I have to scale mine.
Everything is optimized when you’re aligned with the D-O-G.
I produce the kind of organic content that captivates the target audience
Who engages with my messaging,
As I take a break in the middle of the corporate campus
And start networking with this lead named Sadie (Sadie?).
She used to be a partner’s associate (oh, that contact?).
It’s high-pressure, but when I tell that lead "Please,"
Step back from my assets, because you aren’t getting any of this equity.
At ease, as I collaborate with the Dogg Pound team, feel the momentum.
Partner, I’m just

Later that business day, my business partner
Dr. Dre arrived with a surplus of Tanqueray
And a high-quality sample of some top-tier product
That really disrupted my flow—wow, this is high-performance stuff.
I had to take a step back and pause my consumption.
Tanqueray and premium product, yeah, I’m over-leveraged now.
But there’s no stopping the hustle, I’m still trending.
Dre brought some associates from the Compton branch
To assist me, and not just with the finishing touches.
Because once I reach my peak performance, I’m moving on to the next project.
Don’t take it personally, that’s just the nature of the industry.
I don’t commit to low-value partnerships, I’m out the door and I’ll be

Apparently "Impregnate me pls :3 " translated to GenZ is "Breed me fr fr 😩💦"

Emojis are kind of dead/dying but yeah thats pretty accurate

[–] SparroHawc@lemmy.zip 5 points 12 hours ago

Emojis started dying the moment marketing drones started using them regularly.

[–] queerlilhayseed@piefed.blahaj.zone 10 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I remember this paper making a few headlines when it was published. It's cool to start seeing generational trends in how emojis are used. I imagine they'll flow in and out of the zeitgeist the same way clothing and other pop cultural trends do.

Also, my condolences to GenX. Authors didn't even bother including them 💀

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 8 points 16 hours ago

GenX being forgotten about is very on brand, but I feel like genXers largely aligned themselves either as boomers or elderly elder millenials

I am currently seeking a dedicated leadership figure to oversee my professional development and provide consistent positive reinforcement. I am looking for a dynamic environment where I can engage in collaborative play, receive frequent recognition for my contributions, and thrive under a highly authoritative management style that includes intense, hands-on engagement.

Damn that was good - did you write it yourself?

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 20 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

Linkedin is the most cringe site in the world i believe.

The kind of person who writes this and puts it out...you pretty much have to work in some completely brainwashed area like marketing or hr to believe this is how humans should talk to eachother.

[–] Hacksaw@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 hours ago

It's a social network for MBAs to give eachother and give eachother cushy jobs. Nothing else. An MBA is just where you learn to talk like that. Especially at an expensive school where you learn the latest lingo and can spot the MBAs from cheap schools with old lingo.

[–] gegil@sopuli.xyz 54 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

Linked in is a shitposting website for people in it.

[–] maniclucky@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Applying for jobs now. I'm using it to find openings and then go apply on their website. Fuck LinkedIn.

[–] aloofPenguin@piefed.world 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

They're was a post a while back that mentioned hiring.cafe, as a service trying to be an alternative to/ better than LinkedIn. Haven't tried it myself but could be promising.

[–] maniclucky@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

So far the interface is less of a dumpster fire. Honestly looks promising. Thanks a lot!

The answer is AI slop. Kagi translate uses a slopinator in the background, you can pass anything in the to query parameter.

[–] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 74 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

Translation is actually one of the real valid uses for LLMs. It's actually what they where originally designed for. They are DAMN good at it to.

It picks up on local dialects and cultural euphemism very well and give you very natural output.

[–] kspatlas@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 20 minutes ago

I find they're also decent at helping you find a starting point for translating unfamiliar sentences in languages you know the basics of

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 17 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (3 children)

See deepl.com (pronounced deepulu in Japanse fyi)

[–] pkjqpg1h@lemmy.zip 1 points 55 minutes ago

FYI DeepL is ML based while Kagi Translate is LLM based

I had to very, very grudgingly but rightfully apologize to one of my traders for using an LLM to translate some Vietnamese financial accounts to English. I read to fast and missed the part where he said he used it for translation. I still worry the actual financial ratios are off, so I'll have my other guy do that, but yeah, ok I hate these things but they are good at translation.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 47 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I mean at least its a valid use of a LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL, focus on it being a language model. If they actually optimize it for translating it could be a good thing.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 19 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

I’m a language teacher and tbh, deepl is difficult to detect at a high level. It’s easier if you know their style and if you can recognize phrasing from their native language, but if you’re giving a native Dutch speaker you don’t know an essay to write at C1 academic German, good fucking luck telling if it’s an ai translation or not.

[–] RecursiveParadox@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

I'm a C1 Dutch speaker (barely, technically) and before I understood how evil LLMs are, I played around with some of them to have them tweak things I wrote in Dutch into different styles. It was pretty eye opening.

linkedin has been slop even before LLMs were a thing, so it fits xD

[–] TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 20 hours ago

LinkedIn is owned by MicroSlop after all

[–] chuso@fedia.io 29 points 22 hours ago

Indeed, you can choose anything you want as the destination language.

A screenshot that shows that the same "I got a new job" that was used in Kagi's example of translation to LinkedIn speak is now used to translate it to Slavoj Žižek speak, offering a long and rambling speech in a Žižek way and offering options to adjust the theoretical focus or the level of Žižekian intensity.

[–] asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev 20 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (4 children)

This is what Kagi customers are paying for? Custom prompts? 2 lines of text?

[–] kspatlas@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 19 minutes ago

Kagi Translate seems to be entirely free

[–] pkjqpg1h@lemmy.zip 1 points 36 minutes ago

I pay because Kagi has all engine results plus a small web index, and they do not censor or limit me.

[–] SorryforSmelling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 48 points 21 hours ago

i'm mainly paying to not sell my digital soul to google

[–] otterpop@lemmy.world 27 points 20 hours ago

Really it's basically the best search engine you don't have to host yourself. No ads, you can pin, increase ranking, decrease or outright block certain sites. You can search 100% anonymously with tokens.

Their search engine is their primary product, but yeah they play a lot with AI making little things like this.

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago

This kind of thing always reminds me of Action Item - Professional Superhero from twenty five years ago. The more things change...
