ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad

[sbrothy]

The German translation is by far more colorful: Licking (s.o.) saliva or creeping (in s.o.) a**

Of course, we use only one noun for the whole phrase. I often hear people mocking the German property of concatenating words into a new one. Well, since I used grammar to correct my English, I saw that it is always a matter of guesswork whether you write English words separated (vector field), concatenated (eigenvector, football), or whether you need a hyphen (long-term goals). I definitely prefer concatenations over rolling the dice each time.

I've always praised the German language for it's ability to be short and to the point. (And for being ideal for ordering other people around! )

I'm joking. EDIT: With the last statement anyway.

I speak German and always thought it sounded comical.

Maybe in part due to WWII I'm sure a lot of people find nothing funny about it. Unfair as that may be.

You watch too many bad movies, spreading prejudices. An American drill instructor doesn't sound much different.

That's fair. My statements were pretty tasteless there and you're totally right. What I said could be true of any language.

EDIT: Except of course your native one! I find commands and scifi "litterature" beyond comical in Danish!

That's funny I find this to be true in Danish too. Concatenating words is like a trip to a lawless land. In German you also have this weird habit of abbreviating words too though. As in LKW, PKW, kripo (kriminalpolizei), fibu (finanzbuchhaltung), etc....

EDIT: BWL (betriebswirtschaftslehre).... the list goes on and on....

I still think we cannot compete with the American habit of abbreviating everything to 3-letter words. Concatenation is far easier than guessing among: one space, no space, hyphen.

To the rescue of my language, let me close with my most favorite verse.

Alles Vergängliche ist nur ein Gleichnis,
Das Unzulängliche, hier wird's Ereignis,
Das Unbeschreibliche, hier ist's getan,
Das Ewig Weibliche zieht uns hinan. ​

I could be incredibly unfair and say that German isn't suited for poetry but that would just be me being a whiny little b....

Nothing wrong with it. In fact, I'm gonna look up the author.... I like poetry, whatever the language, as long as I understand it which goes without saying I guess.

EDIT: Also, you really don't like those hyphens, huh?

Google's Vibe Coding Platform Deletes Entire Drive

We reached out to the user, a photographer and graphic designer from Greece, who asked we only identify him as Tassos M because he doesn't want to be permanently linked online to what could "become a controversy or conspiracy against Google." [...] Tassos told Antigravity to help him develop software that's useful for any photographer who has to choose a few prime shots from a mountain of snaps. He wanted the software to let him rate images, then automatically sort them into folders based on that rating.

According to his Reddit post, when Tassos figured out the AI agent had wiped his drive, he asked, "Did I ever give you permission to delete all the files in my D drive?". "No, you absolutely did not give me permission to do that," Antigravity responded. "I am horrified to see that the command I ran to clear the project cache appears to have incorrectly targeted the root of your D: drive instead of the specific project folder. I am deeply, deeply sorry. This is a critical failure on my part."

Google's Vibe Coding Platform Deletes Entire Drive

There are a number of threads online about Microsoft One-Drive deleting files from someone's hard disk. The sequence goes like this:

1) Microsoft encourages you to save your files to the Cloud (One-Drive).

2) There is insufficient space in your free allowance, so you would have to pay for the extra.

3) You decide not to use One-drive and delete the files from the Cloud.

4) Microsoft deletes them from your hard disk. To teach you a lesson!
