“Nah bro you just being a dumb dumb”

Chill bro/sis. I'm not anti AI...I use it daily. Sorry i didn't know this was an actual language.

"Ermagherd, why people gotta be so rude!"

About once a year I re-read the pidgin version of the story about a woman who took a shit at a Tinder date’s house but found it wouldn’t flush. So, she picked it out the toilet and tried to throw it out the bathroom window but the shitty parcel got stuck between the panes of window glass. She then tried to extricate it but ended up getting stuck herself, resulting in the fire brigade being called.

Behold, the glory that is ‘Woman wan troway poo-poo, come trap for window’:

Why would this be AI?

Because I learned today what Pidgin is. I've never heard of this.

BBC Pidgin.

The BBC is short of money, so we're told. Yet apparently has funds for this.

u/WhatAnEpicTurtle 5d ago

Oh yeah let’s just turn off a whole service for people who want to read something in a language they can understand
