  Would love to see you learn an entire foreign language just so you are able to communicate with the world without being laughed at by people as hostile as yourself.

    They said it wasn’t their “first” lanugage. Which leads me to believe that they do speak English. If that’s the case, then they indeed are kind of lazy. There have already been studies in the impact of AI when used for communication and the results are not positive.

    This isn’t something I’d personally point out and criticize, just something I wouldn’t do. Take the time to express your own ideas in your own words. The long term cost is higher than the short term gains.

      Hey I drove to the library, picked up all these things you needed, got dinner here ya go, free!

      You drove? man that’s lazy…

      He used AI to clean up translation and save time after he spent a fuck ton of time curating and delivering us a helpful product. Calling him out as lazy is an awful take.

        First, that’s an awful analogy.

        Second, you’re assuming (for some unknown reason) that they “cleaned up” the “translation” using ai. You have literally no idea exactly how they wrote the post. It’s kinda weird to make up a random scenario but ok.

        Third, no, it’s not an awful take. You can code something that requires a ton of effort but write awful documentation. One thing does not make the other impossible.

        Fourth, I already explained that there have already been studies that concluded that using AI to write stuff for you has a negative impact on your communication skills. This is not an opinion or me being ingrateful or whatever. I was just sharing information.

      I have A1 and A2 level in a couple of non-first languages, technically I can speak those, realistically I don’t and will not be able to communicate something more complex than ‘here, take a look’

      So I don’t agree with your absolutistic stance

        There’s nothing “absolutistic” about my “stance”. If you’re rusty using a language, you won’t get better if someone else does the homework for you. Make an effort, make mistakes, write in a way that sounds weird, who cares. But practice. If you only take the easy way out, that’ll be your only option in the future.

        Although, like I already said, that’s MY way of thinking about it. If you want to use ai to write your stuff, you do you. It doesn’t negate the fact that, whle it’s not “wrong”, it’s the lazy (or minimum effort) option. Don’t know why it bothers you so much.

    I can’t even learn my own language!

    I mean I can’t see what the comment was and I’m assuming it must’ve been downright hateful, but that person almost certainly has learned a foreign language just to communicate with the world and in fact had to learn another foreign language in school because their name is Estonian for “gypsy” and learning two foreign languages (usually English and Russian, sometimes German or something else for the second foreign language) is required. Likely they speak 2.5 languages as is common here (my German is so bad I count it as half a language - native speakers speak too fast for me, but I can kinda get my point across if needed), but could be more.

    Just pointing out that even when trying to be accepting of others, subtle anglo-defaultism can show up in your comment, not that I necessarily agree with whatever the comment was.

  Brush, you do not seem like a nice person to be around.

  Spread love and kindness, not hate.

  I hope you have a better rest of your day.
