In its first-ever earnings call as a public company, Reddit talked about user growth in non-U.S. countries using LLMs for automatic translations.

I'm sure the French will appreciate what is done to their language by this project lol.

Ouin non pas sûr là…

So that’s why. I speak French and I’ve seen google results going to 100% French Reddit posts but somewhat strange.

Then by searching a little more you can find the original thread, in English.

The translations are ok-ish but feels a bit out of tone. Like translating internet "slang" in word to word French. And also seeing redditors writing too well. Something feels off.

TLDR: fuck you Spez, I am still looking for the OP language when I land onto your website.

C'est vraiment wtf.

[–] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Honnêtement je pense que ce serait une bonne idée si c'était clair que c'était traduit et si il y avait un bouton pour revenir a l'original (et vice versa) En ce moment ça semble un peu manipulateur

Tout à fait d'accord, c'est trompeur.

EN: Yep, it feels like a scam where you can find plenty of french speakers whereas it is not. If you're coming from a search engine you can think that Reddit is a french social network, nothing is telling you that what you are reading was AI translated. It feels like a disguised shit with bleu blanc rouge colours.

cant create an effective search, but llm translation is on the table? hhhokay

[–] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

Proper search is for people who know what they are doing. Translation is probably there to get more traffic from google

I deleted all of my reddit accounts some time ago, but last I recall there were already a bunch of French people using it lol I'm sure a bunch of inaccurate clinical AI translations will really help though...

Yup, and plenty of us moved here on an awesome url. Jlai.lu (literally "I’ve read it")

[–] canis_majoris@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago

I've always loved the pun, it's such a great URL.

C'est actif normal pour Lemmy j'ai envie de dire. Petit mais ça avance.

Je te laisse explorer le fil local mais il y a plusieurs commu avec des gens assez actifs. C'est un peu un petit club de copain qui essaie de s'agrandir.

Je te conseille de regarder !forumlibre@jlai.lu ou voir l'activité de @Camus@lemmy.blahaj.zone (ou de ses nombreux alts, celui-ci est le plus récent je crois).
