I just used ChatGPT (or Gemini, no idea) the other night to generate me a story.
I live abroad, so I don't have unlimited access to books in my native language and all the websites were crappy sites with dozens of ads on it, made it unusable.
I was fed up with searching, so I went to ChatGPT, told it to generate me a story in my native tongue about a boy named $MySonsName and his partner $FavoriteAnimalOfTheDay, who is doing $WhateverMySonDidThatDay. It was a good story, used phrases commonly used in children's books in my language, and all.
I think the aspect of being with my son, hugging him while reading something before going to sleep is much more important than who came up with the story. And as parents, after a day of full time work and constantly helping at the household, sleep deprivation, my stories would be two sentences before I run out of ideas.
- geoduck14 1y agoI'm curious about how the LLMs handle non English languages. Is it good? Does it work well with hard/advanced content? If you don't mind me asking, what languages do you speak? Which do you use when interacting with LLMs?
- serial_dev 1y agoIt works surprisingly well, I’d say it gives better results than Google Translate. I can say that German, Spanish, and even Hungarian results are all consistently good. I often say “answer in English, German, and Hungarian” when I want to make sure I practice all these languages and I can discuss some topics in any language. I usually write in English, and add if it should answer in other languages.
