Previously, when AI-related discussions came up, I was using AI to translate my posts into English. I was concerned about becoming a target because of that, so I ended up closing all my issues and stopped participating in the chat.
It helps a lot that translation into English has now been explicitly allowed as an exception.
Out of curiosity, are non-AI tools like translate.google.com insufficient for your needs?
Edit: never mind. Apparently, Google translate uses Google‘s internally developed LLMs since 2020. :/
Since 2020, [... Google Translate] has implemented deep learning networks based on transformers.

Yeah, that’s definitely part of their internally developed LLM. I remember reading about Google developing this when I was in design school. I just didn’t know that Google translate was using it, too, but I suppose I should’ve known.
Thanks for posting this.
I use Google Translate when reading, but I still feel that Japanese translations are not always perfect.
For writing, I usually translate with ChatGPT, then check it again by retranslating into Japanese with DeepL, and pick the version that feels the most natural.
When I am translating from Japanese, I find that DeepL is the most consistently understandable and accurate. I have copy/pasted many an article from Comic Natalie into translators to compare with what Anime News Network writes, and that is my experience.
I don’t particularly like ChatGPT. I tend to favor Claude just because it’s far less obsequious and tends to give a bit more pushback and is more critical.
I also like the structure of it answers a bit more. Maybe it’s just a matter of taste, but I really don’t trust an LLM model that keeps kissing my ass so much.
That's really cool, and thanks for taking the communities input on this!
Thank you for the clear words. This reassures me to keep using and working on PieFed.
Thank you for keeping this slop free.
"Intellectual property theft" isn't a thing. The correct terms are "copyright infringement" or "trademark infringement" or "plagiarism" or something like that, and you should be specific about which you're talking about.
Thanks. I will give my peanut gallery perspective. This is a social software and its good its made by people. Its good enough as it is now and it will be great if it gets better but there is no urgent timeline to do so. Its better the improvements be things people like so much that someone wants to get it working. I think of it like a club. You can be a member and show up and have fun but you can volunteer for setup and such and that can be fun in its own way and you can become part of the leadership or start your own or whatever. This is not a corporation that needs to make profits. It should happen in a cummunal human like way.
Happy to see this.
kvetching over negativity
Wish it got as many upvotes as the "AI did a bad thing/is invading everything" headlines, but alas, good news hacks your brain to engage far less than something you're mad at.
Good call
Glad to see this, thank you and everyone for your hard work!
