And has this guy never seen a chorse before?

(Okay, I got nothing after that one. Based on my limited knowledge of French, this is appears to be a terrible translation issue- tree = arbre, horse = cheval, house = maison.)

I think that it's just a screenshot of on-screen translation (like Google Lens or whatever, you can def see the artefacts) of this:

(Caption is, naturally, compete bullshit)

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Before I zoomed in on the picture, my first thought is the letters supposed to represent their respective objects could have been in French words. A for arbre, b for balloon, and c for cheval.

Yup, the OOP is really just milking for social media likes by faking the post.

Might even be AI translated, as the font is whack

They used white out and then wrote the translated words in. It's obvious when you zoom in.

I bet is an Spanish books translated to English, 'cause:

Tree = Árbol

Horse = Caballo

Star = Estrella

And so on

[–] [email protected] 63 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I thought the same because

  • cow = vaca
  • wheel = rueda
  • fish = pes
  • snow = nieve

but in French

  • cake = gâteau
  • house = maison
  • tail = queue
  • monkey = singe
  • bird = oiseau

Note: For H, that seems to be an image of a propeller airplane, not a helicopter.

Could be either Spanish or French based on those words, I guess. I'm not sure if any of the words in the picture don't start with the same letter in those languages (or maybe even other Romance languages).

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 days ago

Nah, you're right, is french. There's no word in Spanish for Bird that star with O (the only Spanish words for bird are either Pájaro or Ave).

But for french...

OP, this is absolutely a Google Translate image of a French ABC book into English.

Arbre is tree

Cheval is horse

Etoille is star

Vache is cow

Gateau is cake

Roue is wheel

Edit: le typo

Is it just me or are the images and text AI generated?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It seems people are blind to AI now, seeing people having discussion over this AI slop makes it time to add "braindead society theory" to the already existing "dead internet theory"

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 days ago

100%, the text was an instant giveaway and the disagreement makes me feel like I'm living in a Truman Show simulation sometimes. Also, the monkey is actually a nightmare creature and the tiger is straight from the Walking Dead.

Either the whole image is AI gen or someone used AI gen to make a childrens book.

I think its the former and the whole post is just bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (4 children)

If it's AI generated, it's a hell of a coincidence that the letters all match the French words for those things.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (5 children)

All the words are 100% generated unless someone went to the trouble of making a font that looks exactly like AI generated text. The pants under the book are also just nonsense blobs.

[–] gnutrino 9 points 4 days ago

unless someone went to the trouble of making a font that looks exactly like AI generated text.

Can I just say that's a hilariously evil idea to fuck with people and if I knew more about font formats I'd be tempted to give it a go.

It's probably in-place translation using AI for a French book

The book is 1000% AI generated. The text and images are blurry mid journey nonsense. I mean, "helicopter" is a fucked up looking plane ffs.

However, it would be a massive coincidence that all the words have a French translation that fits the letter. The OP could've done that intentionally, but that seems like a lot more effort for an AI generated post

Can we acknowledge how weird it is that the word they chose for U was "Universe". Seems a bit grandiose for a letter book for young children.

"A is for apple. B is for balloon. C is for THE COSMIC VOID OF INFINITE SPACE"

M is for mesothelioma

How are people not noticing this "book" is entirely AI generated with all the fucked up non-letters in the words?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

But Abazz said his mom bought that book. He wouldnt lie to me :(

Ok, so assume it's French. The words now make sense. But, look at the pictures.

Does that look anything like a helicopter / hélicoptère? What does that pink round thing have to do with snow / neige? Why does the image for a tail / queue look like a radish? And what's with the letter for Y? Common Y words in french for kids are things like "yak", "yaourt" (yogurt), "yeux" (eyes), "yeti", "yacht", "yoga", "yo-yo". They seem to have chosen "yole", which in english is "yawl", defined as "a two-masted fore-and-aft-rigged sailboat with the mizzenmast stepped far aft so that the mizzen boom overhangs the stern." And yet, although the image appears to be a sailboat (voilier), it's a one-masted sailboat.

This looks incredibly ai generated

That book is a translation nightmare...

Tree = árvore

Horse = cavalo

Vaca = cow

There are a lot more. Those are English to Portuguese translations and there are more. I'd risk the original language of the book is heavily Latin based.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's an image translated by an AI and used for internet points. Zoom in to the text to see why.

It's the past tense of yeet. Unless you're trying to be fancy and say "yotten" instead of course.

This is AI though, or am I being whooshed

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I don't think it's AI. I think it's just an upscaling method that REALLY doesn't like text. I've seen it around on Lemmy often

Edit: Yeah I found the original, it's just the upscaling. https://x.com/abazwhyllzz/status/1576904534416232449?t=pSDDUbYTruzC5PZQtFgFKA&s=19

it's probably translated from another language yeah, could be French or Spanish

  • Tree in French: Arbre; in Spanish: árbol
  • Horse in French: Cheval; in Spanish: caballo

for M it looks like it's French, house in Spanish is casa
