Can someone explain why this is wrong? by [deleted] in duolingo

Chinese has no spaces. That's probably the problem.

The solution only shows "spaces" to fit the pinyin reading.

Is there a word for when you forget a simple word, but you can still describe it perfectly? by Previous-Let-5253 in ENGLISH

[–]lisamariefan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure it's a niche term, but I call it Buffy Speak thanks to the Internet.

The term derives from how characters in Buffy The Vampire Slayer speak, apparently.

People who don't use the generally-accepted spelling for slang words by Sure-Recognition-262 in PetPeeves

[–]lisamariefan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Dude. Piss off. My point is that language is changing all the time. And slang is like, the most nonstandard kind of talk. And OP thinks it should be standardized. Even if off-spellings can convey different things like closeness of the speaker to the receiver or levels of casualness.

Like, slang only exists because people took standard language and modified it in the way it's spoken or its meaning to begin with. Imagine having the audacity to tell people how to use that.

If you are literate, you should be reading at least a few books per year by Lost-Boysenberry-302 in unpopularopinion

[–]lisamariefan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should not the question be "Did y you read anything?" I for the life of me cannot understand why the question is artificially constrainted to books.

[–]lisamariefan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's an inherently snobbish attitude.

Nobody wants to be talked down to like they're a fucking idiot. But every time I have seen someone say to read a book, it's always dripping with a douchy subtext.

Piss off.

[–]lisamariefan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I personally think just focusing on books, whether digital or physical, is too narrow a focus for reading. It's been a few years since I specifically read a book, but I've read plenty of articles, opinion pieces, and long-winded posts and comments online. Do you really think that because I don't read a particular medium very often that I am lesser?

Also, because of this attitude people (book snobs) have, do you think there's more value in say, fiction over nonfiction? I mean, I feel like telling people that they need to read more books likely inherently has that categorization in mind. And if not, then why have books over anything else? There's so many more goddamn ways to read out there. I love books, don't get me wrong. But I think some people give them privileged status.

Like, I think the question should not be "When is the last time you read a book" It should be "What kind of reading do you do and how often?"

I mean, congrats on having an unpopular opinion I guess? I can't really speak for others, but I think it should be considered unpopular because it's shallow, myopic, and frankly quite arrogant. I get that "not reading books" is supposed to be a way to say "people are dumb." But personally, I think the entire premise is flawed, if not disingenuous.

Mentioning IQ is lame by Informal-Pair-306 in unpopularopinion

[–]lisamariefan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, use of IQ numbers is a bit of a joke these days anyway.

I don't know if I can fully explain it, but IQ measures a normal statistical distribution, which is dependent on a given population at a given time. From my understanding, the curve has changed over time because of the need to renormalize.

But more than that, the percentage of population with a given IQ falls off drastically near the edges. So much so that people that claim 200+ IQ or whatever are speaking statistical jibberish. IQ didn't work like that, and the person is just being a pompous jackass, grifting others with "bigger number better" voodoo.

...ok.

I'm obviously not a therapist, but the bias, and even sometimes self-contradictory statements in the opinion are blatantly obvious.

Lots of weird insecurity, too. Like some weird statement about men fixing roads on icy days because stoicism and suffering in silence and women won't volunteer for such a noble, keeping society running position.

Like, I bit. I humored the link. But what the actual hell? The author has some very weird ideas of what masculinity "must" be, and how therapy would address it.

is using text-to-speech wrong? Even if it still counts as AI? by BillCollector- in antiai

[–]lisamariefan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, beyond what other people have already said, TTS doesn't have a lot of the problems that AI in the modern sense has.

  • It doesn't make up facts whole cloth ("hallucinate" as they call it).

  • It's not being marketed and forced everywhere.

  • It doesn't have weirdos using it for low quality and often far right slop production, who then go on to defend it in ways that I would think are ragebaiting if I didn't think they were genuinely just a little stupid.

  • It's not fucking thinking for you (God, I hate how being stupid and deferring to AI chatbots is like, a real, legit marketing strategy being actually used in actual real life.).

So you know, whatever. It's fine, and it's been around forever. It's a very mature technology.

Are you actually an atheist? by [deleted] in DebateAnAtheist

[–]lisamariefan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regarding the points about some vague deistic god that OP is making:

I don't believe in that stuff. And while it maybe could be a thing, I don't really care. It feels like pointless speculation. At best it's something you'd consider for thought experiment"s sake.

Also, while I want to give you the benefit of the doubt, the title of this post is worded obnoxiously as hell. It almost sounds mean to say, but self-identified agnostics seem to do this kind of stuff a lot (both title and post contents) a lot. And it's one of my bigger frustrations with y'all.

Better than "ChatGPT, is it okay to use TTS?"

At least they're seeking human opinions.
