    The skull emoji represents laughter, not shock, though. It’s more like “This guy is serious? Oh my god, that’s hilarious!”

    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.

      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.

    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).

      Is this true using gpt4 with browsing? I feel like it would at least make an attempt to use newer knowledge in that case.

      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.

        “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”

                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.

      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!’

          really only have to be over 25 to feel this effect. but it gets stronger the older you get.

          that said, i do think it’s funny how often we look to the kids to decide what’s ‘cool’ or ‘popular’. the closer i get to 40 the less i benchmark what’s cool against younger people. but i also choose not to judge younger people and their slang because, if we are willing to actually be self-reflective, we all sounded like idiots as kids with our slang. just becaues we have nostalgia about it doesn’t mean ‘hella’ isn’t stupid af.

      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.

      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.
