Sheesh! Do you need a hug? Anyway, with chat GPT you can simply give it the image from the reddit post and get the OCRd and translated text. It's one step, it's fast, it's accurate enough. Why not use it?

often, chatgpt translates better.

That, and you can ask it to translate literally or colloquially, to summarize or explain about acronyms, cultural references, names, code, syntax, diagrams, graphics, or anything else.

GP: If you're going to play a curmudgeon, at least get some first hand experience with what you choose to complain about, otherwise your curmudgeoning isn't very effective, and you complain about things that aren't actually problems, and miss out on complaining about real problems.

I love to hate and complain about Unix and X-Windows and C++ and GCS, but that's because I've used them, not because I succeeded in avoiding them.

It's often better at picking up context

do you get google points for using google translate or something I'm not aware of?

I've seen ChatGPT translate English to German miles ahead of what Google translate does.

Like an English satirical poem to perfect German. Changing the literal translation to keep the meaning and sarcasm of the poem.

I've had it translate back and forth and write songs in Simlish! It even knows and is fluent in fake nonsensical languages.

Prompt: Write an a cappella cover of a Philip Glass song in Simlish.

ChatGPT-4:

Creating an a cappella cover of a Philip Glass song in Simlish presents an interesting challenge. Philip Glass is known for his minimalist compositions that often consist of repetitive structures, and Simlish is a nonsensical language. Since Glass's compositions are largely instrumental, I will create an a cappella adaptation inspired by his musical style while using Simlish-like sounds.

    Verse 1:

    Doo doo zib, doo doo zib, doo doo zib, doo doo zib,
    Bada bada zoob, bada bada zoob, bada bada zoob, bada bada zoob,
    Glarbni glarbni glarb, glarbni glarbni glarb, glarbni glarbni glarb, glarbni glarbni glarb,
    Sul sul sul, sul sul sul, sul sul sul, sul sul sul.

    Chorus:

    Froodle froodle, zibba zibba,
    Dag dag, drib drib, yibbs yibbs,
    Slooble slooble, wib wib, dor dor,
    Lerpna lerpna, gort gort, zor zor.

    Verse 2:

    Doo doo zib, doo doo zib, doo doo zib, doo doo zib,
    Bada bada zoob, bada bada zoob, bada bada zoob, bada bada zoob,
    Glarbni glarbni glarb, glarbni glarbni glarb, glarbni glarbni glarb, glarbni glarbni glarb,
    Sul sul sul, sul sul sul, sul sul sul, sul sul sul.

    Chorus:

    Froodle froodle, zibba zibba,
    Dag dag, drib drib, yibbs yibbs,
    Slooble slooble, wib wib, dor dor,
    Lerpna lerpna, gort gort, zor zor.
Remember, this adaptation is meant to be playful and fun, as it doesn't have any real meaning or convey any specific message. The focus here is on capturing the essence of Philip Glass's minimalist compositions using Simlish-like sounds in an a cappella context.
