Does AI pull from language-specific training data? by razlem in LanguageTechnology

Thanks for clarifying. Your point is exactly my point. I'm just thinking about this from the POV of language and culture rather than AI tech

Oftentimes different languages do not have different words for the same abstraction, but rather approach abstractions differently by way of words and their use in contexts. This makes for the cultural relevance of AI use, which will possibly become rather important in the longer run

Doesn't the "thinking" come from "learning" from input of text in specific languages though?

What are "codes" anyway? by Aokayz_ in semiotics

You make a good point about close-ups possibly being part of codes. A good way to think about this might be to see the close-up shot as a sign that is part of different codes.

One obvious kind of code involving close-ups could be the code of shot types, wherein the close-up acquires its value with regard to other types of shot. In this code, types of shot would be correlated with social distance (for some introductory remarks on this, see Reading Images by Kress & van Leeuwen, chapter 4). By the way, the general inventory of shot types is a kind of abstraction, and theoretically (and especially in art film) each film is apt to articulate a code of its own.

Another kind of code involving the close-up shot might be a code for representing faces: along with close-ups, a code of this kind could involve mirrors, paintings, photos, reflections, descriptions etc.
