Google translate—CANCELED!

“To the dismay of their creators, AI algorithms often develop racist or sexist traits. Google Translate has been accused of stereotyping based on gender, such as its translations presupposing that all doctors are male and all nurses are female.”

Nice link, dumbass. Oh wait, you didn't include one to your moronic article from March.

Google “Is Google Translate sexist?”

R2 No because the rest of us aren't just sitting around searching for idiotic "is ___ canceled" crap.

Call me WOKE, but I don't think it's stupid to identify sexist biases in apps, programs, etc.

Google Translate provides this answer if one Googles this question.

by Anonymousreply 6June 15, 2021 3:41 AM

Do people really give a fuck? We know there are women doctors. Who cares if google translate translates doctors into the masculine. People have WAY too much time on their hands.

Agreed

Google Translate is a great service.

I’m offended because it doesn’t acknowledge my trans Asian identity.

Google TRANSlate is LITERAL VIOLENCE.

Google Translate isn't going anywhere.

Link is where OP lifted information, but his reading comprehension skills are a bit rusty.

All authors are saying is Google and many other auto translation services have issues from their point of view. Of course they also have a fix for that.....

Quite honestly most auto translation services (including Google) are what they are, which ranges from piss poor to acceptable.

Any native speaker of a language or has mastered one fluently enough can tell what has been AI generated. While most or much of it makes sense in terms of conveying meaning, no one would speak or write that way.

Like Sister Sixto AI often struggles to translate idioms accurately.

I used it to learn little useful Spanish phrases like ‘Chinga tu madre’ & ‘Pinche pendejo’

Plus a whole host of others mainly having to do with getting drunk or getting laid.

Si I’m just supposed to ASSUME it applies to trans Asians??!!! Is that what you’re saying????!!!

Also bananas are sexist as they look like penises. Unless they're too ripe and turn black. Those ones are ok. Small yellow ones from China are acceptable too. But no white bananas, those ones are racist.

Is Google Translate aware that I have changed my pronouns and am now known as 'they?'

This reminds me of a discussion I head on a podcast a few weeks ago. They were complaining about certain languages that has masculine words and feminine words and how that is problematic and how it needs to be corrected.

I work really hard to be understanding and an ally to a lot of stuff, but the entire time I was listening to it, I was thinking, you fuckers need to get a life. Is this what we've come to.

Then I see this post and all I can wonder is do we have too much free time on our hands. It's Google Translate FFS.

by Anonymousreply 21June 15, 2021 1:17 PM

They’re right. Google Translate sucks.
