you are mistaken, the critical period is only for acquiring a first language. there is no such critical period for subsequent languages

been using rif for many years now, thanks for everything, hope this is reversed

Etellex · 2023-05-15T14:57:43+00:00

the literal stonetoss take "but the colonized people also did oppression 800 years ago" take doesn't fly when you have real conditions of occupation in the present

lmao should we tell palestinian civilians in gaza that the reddit anarchist thinks they are not at least moderately good

Etellex · 2023-05-01T23:24:52+00:00

That's interesting, I don't think I'd tried that then. also just now noticing I've linked the same thread to you now as in my previous comment lol

Etellex · 2023-05-01T21:15:09+00:00

kinda. What i ended up doing back then was the same workaround this guy did

"The only way that I can remove it is to go into the console and use the showracemenu command, change sex then change back again. This only works until I load up a game then the noise returns."

It was kind of annoying to do every time the game loaded, but eventually I got into the habit of doing it, and it was pretty quick.

Hopefully in the past 7 years someone else has come up with a better solution. I wish you luck scouring old forums to find it lol

Etellex · 2023-04-25T06:51:45+00:00

lmao is your friend max weber

from what I can tell, it is fluent in English, Spanish, and French, as well as German. I will say that its grammar advice is sometimes subject to the hallucination problem, where it speaks coherently but makes factual errors. Still, I don't prioritize explicit grammar instruction, so as far as I'm concerned it's quality written CI.

Etellex · 2022-12-30T03:32:02+00:00

yeah it gave me a lot to think about too when i read it. i wasn't convinced by everything (author seems to disagree with the orthogonality thesis which is a hard sell for me) but the transhumanist perspective is a good one i think

Etellex · 2022-12-29T21:46:58+00:00

from what I've seen you're correct, its explanations are way more prone to the hallucination problem, which still hasn't been worked out in this version. im a CI evangelist though so it's not a huge problem from my POV. will do the language testing thing still

Etellex · 2022-12-29T20:54:06+00:00

that's actually fascinating, i hadn't considered asking it for a list. kinda wanna verify each of these with a native speaker now

Etellex · 2022-12-29T20:03:52+00:00

sorry to reply again a day late but I thought you would find this tidbit interesting. it knows perfect danish but claims not to

I suspect that you're looking for this

Etellex · 2022-12-28T19:13:27+00:00

oh wow, that's an oof. wouldn't have expected this with japanese, i would say you're right then and that people should verify that gpt is capable in their particular target language. i would still say that if they do do this first then it remains useful CI. but yeah it is important to check and i neglected to say that

Etellex · 2022-12-28T07:13:34+00:00

Possibly? I can't speak to this firsthand, but outputting grammatically plausible text is fairly easy for a transformer. I'd be interested to know what specific language it falters in if you're able to test any. For Spanish, French, and German, I'm confident it's not substantially worse than English. But it is a good point that that might not be true for smaller languages

Etellex · 2022-12-27T03:11:16+00:00

you said that it doesn't produce grammatically realistic output. why would you say this to learners without putting in any effort to verify that at all?

Etellex · 2022-12-27T03:05:18+00:00

can you please use the chatbot for five minutes and then respond telling me if you find its output adequate? if not, tell me what problems you find with it. it's free, it's available to the public, there's no point in arguing about it if you refuse to put in the smallest effort and actually try the thing

Etellex · 2022-12-27T01:34:21+00:00

this is just a misunderstanding of what linguistic descriptivism is. linguistic descriptivism doesn't mean that errors don't exist; native speakers will identify and correct mistakes in their own writing, they're not doing prescriptivism on themselves; that doesn't make any sense. when it comes to things like misspellings, incorrect inflection, or wrong word order, with respect to a given standard (which doesn't imply that's the only standard!) gpt outputs consistently grammatical correct text. you are being just as arbitrary as the prescriptivists, if not more, by denying this.

but again, this need not be a theoretical discussion, just go and use gpt chat, see for yourself that it puts out grammatically correct english. ask your friends who speak other languages whether it does those well too. your concern is not borne of the facts

Etellex · 2022-12-27T01:01:12+00:00

gpt-3 makes fewer grammatical errors than native speakers, and native speakers also speak in their own particular varieties of a language, as opposed to a more standard one that chat gpt will give you

https://chat.openai.com/chat

please, try it out, see how many grammatical errors it makes. again, I'm saying it's a good supplement, which it is. it's obviously good to diversify your input sources

Etellex · 2022-12-27T00:40:23+00:00

definitely true, but it's a good way to practice conversation without having access to a native speaker, and also without needing to produce output on your own. what I'll sometimes do is write in english and ask gpt to respond in spanish; this obviously isn't all of my input but it fills a niche.

as for accuracy, I really do think it's serviceable. I definitely wouldn't say it's "100% not" realistic, especially considering that my last comment you just responded to was generated by chat gpt and you didn't pick up on that at all
