“The gentleman right here seems very stern, I cannot contain my surprise.”
The skull emoji represents laughter, not shock, though. It’s more like “This guy is serious? Oh my god, that’s hilarious!”
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.
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.
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 💀💀💀
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.
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
“This guy is serious I am telling you, and that is really funny.”
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.

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.
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.
Removed by mod
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”
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”
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.
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.
