That’s why I specify that everything should be verified in a later comment. My point is that LLMs when properly guided are better than other automatic translation service, while hallucination can easily be avoided with proper prompting.

Also worth mentioning that there’s massive difference in user generated translations already, some of it is well meaning while other, like in Israel’s case, isn’t.

I translate a lot of stuff for my work, and I don’t have any problems when I instruct it properly. I’m also there to verify. I don’t have to deal with hallucinations ever, mostly just changing a word or two because I don’t like how it sounds (it uses overly complex words at times).

This is more about certain users being shit and either not checking their work or doing work they have no place doing. They would exist no matter what they use, it’s not the tools fault.

Tbh, I work in research and we would never use Wikipedia for anything. We can’t quote it and anytime I find a good tidbit on it and try and find the source, I usually get dead link or just something altogether false which doesn’t represent what the user wrote. Probably highly dependent on the subject though but the sourcing isn’t very rigorous.

Bless them though, it’s an amazing site and they are still doing an stellar job considering how big it is.

The paragraph right after reads:

Among the most recent senses adopted is a logical extension of the previous ones, with the meaning of “to kill.” We do not enter this sense, due to its relative recency and sparseness of use.

An acceptable benefit?

I haven’t seen them all but prey is easily my favorite.

Whatever is used, I think nothing is going to be 100% and everything should be verified by a native speaker. It is Wikipedia afterall, not some blog.

Non-LLM services are worse in my opinion but it probably depends on the language (LLMs probably struggle with certain languages as well).

I mean, you can test it yourself if you speak more than one language. If you ask for a direct translation and stress not to add content or change the text, it will do a very good job. Translation is a use case where LLM really shine.

I feel like this sub became “technology bad”. Nobody wants to think and would rather just dogpile.

I think we may be mixing two different questions here.

The legal question is not whether an AI model might have seen the original code during training. The relevant question is whether the new implementation contains protected expression from the LGPL codebase.

At the moment, the available evidence points the other way:

reported similarity is extremely low (~0.04% average / ~1.29% max)

module structure and APIs differ

the detection pipeline appears to have been reimplemented

Solving the same problem (encoding detection) does not by itself make a work derivative.

Seems kind of fair. Codings has always been a bit of a wild west, are we going to start copyrighting concepts? The original repo wasn’t used during the rewrite either.

I also prefer MIT to copy left in any case and I don’t even think reverse engineering something and rewriting it is bad either. I don’t dig the constant copyright bootlicking.

They could just paint the lines the other way so people park going forward instead of backing up, or just replace them with regular perpendicular parking spots and actually add to the bike lane or add trees. So dumb.

All you have to do is ask for direct translation and it does it fine. This is plain incompetence.

That being said, I’ve noticed there are wild difference between articles depending on the language. Mostly, it will be added content in the home language (so the article in French about a French city will have much more info) but sometimes, especially when it comes to Hebrew and Israel, you will get different conflicting information.

They should have implemented checks for this a long time ago.

It’s insane that we ban kinder eggs but don’t ban “baby’s first heroin needle”. This has to stop.

“On September 29, 2025, it sent him … the chatbot pretended to check it against a live database.

I usually don’t give much credence to these stories but this is actually nuts. If this was done without Google aiming to, imagine how easy it would be for them to knowingly build sleeper cells and activate them all at once.

Edit: removed the quote since an other user posted it at the same time and it’s a bit of a wall of text to have twice.

If the final product isnt the raw output from my understanding. The current laws are there mostly to stop the whole thing from turning into copyright mills.

In the same way Disney owns the copyright of what their workers made.

I understand nuance and I understand what you are trying to slip in as well. You are justifying genocide. It doesn’t matter who started it when Israel escalated it to killing, starving and displacing an entire population. It was never even close to self defense.

Israel is defending itself so hard, it’s crazy. Their ratio is like one defense missile straight into a refugee camp per day. It’s mostly civilians getting wiped but clearly, Hamas was asking for it.

That’s what you mean, right?

The Dogeration

You insinuate any push back against Israel is antisemitism, while having very vocally denied the genocide. It’s very easy to see through.

We can do both.

There is a deliberate effort to have Israel equal the Jewish faith, so any criticism of the state can be ignored through calls of antisemitism. It’s transparent, part of the Israeli governments playbook and exactly what this meme is about.

I’d also like to point out that you specifically, Spacecowboy, have done some BLATANT genocide denial in the past, so it feels particularly hollow coming from you.

The only one being mislabeled in this meme is the EU. Ukraine is actually defending themselves form an invader (Israel is bombing civilians basically for fun at this point, Hamas is no real threat to them.)
