"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Translator apps (lemmy.zip)

How does everyone feel about local translator apps? I need a translator App for work with tts. I ditched google and got something called Rtranslator, and Sherpa tts which uses something called piper models.

I'm not sure what all of that amounts to, or if this any better than using google with llms? I can barely understand the language used when I try to learn what these components are. I'm not even sure if it is AI, or even the same kind of ai as something like google translate. Is is just as bad for the world as everything else? Or is it any better in any way other than being Foss and local? Do those things even matter when fighting ai?

No idea if speech translation is done differently than a stt->translation pipeline. I sometime use Mozilla's local translation built into current Firefox for text translation. It's not as good as Google or DeepL at the moment, but I find it mostly usable.

Not as good as Google is pretty damning given just how shit Google's translation is.
