  • You think there’s a high number of Spanish tourists going over the border, to Lisbon, only to ask for a pomegranate juice? And you think they are just going to assume that their language, culture and coloquialisms are the same? That’s a lot of assumptions being made.

    Was the waiter Portuguese, or just an immigrant that had a scary experience with a foreign Tourist?

    And again, did anyone here even looked up the word in O.G. Portuguese? Because the author of the article surely didn’t (otherwise I’d find it in the article), and all the people in the comments seem to be making a lot of assumptions about cultures in Europe.






  • Wow, that’s really interesting!

    I don’t know much about how GPT4 is trained, but I’m assuming the model was trained in Portuguese to English translations somehow…

    Anyway, considering that a) I don’t know which type of Portuguese GPT4 was trained in (could be Brazilian as it’s more generally available) and b) that text is in old (European) Portuguese and written in archaic calligraphy, unless the model is specifically trained, we just get close enough approximations that hopefully don’t fully change the context of the texts, which it seems like they do :(
