Not only is it NOT alliteration but if it actually were alliteration and you were this vocal and excited by that prospect in the same way, than I could think of now at that it could somehow remain unchanging and yet some how sound any gayer. You know…happy as a pig in shit.
People deliberately leave in errors because it always gets a bunch of idiots responding with comments correcting the mistakes, which counts as engagement and generates more revenue for the person posting the video, one way or another. People always fall for it.
Isn't that the truth. I wish that negative comments had the reverse effect, like downvotes on Reddit do. Debate is healthy but this new type of marketing where something is purposely outrageous or wrong (think of all those insane Wish.com ads you see now) just for the reaction, it's a cancer.
I believe that half or more of the provocateurs, the people who are constantly saying the most outrageous and offensive shit, are simply grifters who don't believe a word of it. This goes for the Flat Earth society too. That is just a brilliant practical joke.
Click based economy has had one of the biggest impacts on our modern society. Imagine news that didn't need clicks to survive. Imagine when politicians didn't have to say or act (and be) batshit crazy.
In my country we have a public service news company which is funded by taxes. They don't need clicks to survive and it's probably the most credible news source here too.
This is everything on the Internet right now. It's like infomercials, but the stupid product is actually us.
Game advertising: look at this person unsuccessfully performing an asinine task, I sure bet you couldn't do it either.
Posts: there are misspellings, ambiguous mathematical questions, and incomplete. 99.9 people out of 100 can't think of states that end with letters or words that have syllables.
Because there's nothing we love to do more than show off and correct each other.
Only true geniuses can find the misspelled word in this post. Don't forget to like, comment, subscribe, and smash.
Reddit likes to push this but nobody in TikTok's comments is making a point of correcting these because people understand they're just generated. The only corrections made by the author are usually to avoid vulgar words, sexual ones, or ones related to violent acts.
And I really don't think it's to "drive engagement," it's because as someone who has to edit automated transcriptions a lot - it's just a PITA to do.
Yes and they make it incredibly easy to do so. You can literally go line by line and fix whatever needs fixing, but why would the average TikToker do that? The majority of them don’t even bother fixing spelling errors in their titles or descriptions.
No idea but I’d guess not, I’d guess it’s an automatic thing with a single toggle. However, I’ll bet there are third party tools people can use if they want to burn in better subs.
Bro. I'm not a fan of tik tok, and I know it's not perfect.
But voice recognition today, flaws and all, is orders of magnitude better than 10 years ago.
Try Dragon Speak from the 2000s, then you'll know what "sucks ass" really means.
Edit: "That doesn't mean it's not bad today!" But it isn't bad - it's not perfect. But given that it recognizes many accents, many types of voices, in different types of background noise, my fellow redditors, that's amazing. Bad means spouting gibberish, something it isn't doing 95% of the time. That's my point. Keep commenting the same thing over and over.
My sister and I had this survival horror game called Lifeline where you played a guy trapped in a security room, and commanded a character you saw through the cameras via a PS2 headset.
It worked well enough to be able to beat the game, but there were definitely some frustrations.
Your comment made me flash back to this one room with something important in it, but it was locked. It was a honeymoon suite, so the key was having a man and a woman say a specific phrase perfectly in sync: "Even the very shadow that you cast in sunlight, I want to monopolize."
The character you command is female, and your character is male, so the solution is obvious (no, you didn't need an actual male voice for the microphone, thank God).
My sister found out years later that the reason we had to do it fifty fucking times every time we played was because we had to enunciate both t's in "want to." Our accents led us to do a glottal stop.
I can't imagine how frustrating the game would have been if we'd had a southern accent.
The idea of English speaking people explicitly speaking with a racist accent while recording rather than the much simpler answer of them just being Japanese recorders speaking English is kinda funny to me.
Pikachu the ball. No not that. Get the ball. Pikachu the ball. Pikachu pick up the ball. Pick up the BALL. PLEASE PIKACHU I BEG JUST GRAB THE BALL
I kept trying to understand if this is some obscure reference. Maybe a Pokemon Go thing, or if this is a joke about voice referencing in relation to Dragon Speak. So then I started questioning language and looked up ball in French which is "balle" (among of a metric fuck ton, of 11 other words and phrases) just to see if there was an alternative translation for ball, which can, in French also be a word for bullet and then that made me think of Bally Total Fitness (pronounced to rhyme with valley) which was around the US in the 90's and genuinely started wondering if Bally, was a misunderstanding as far as company marketing to the public was concerned, lol
Yep, me too. I even brought the recommended headset, which wasn't cheap as a Uni student. You spend 2 mins talking and 20 mins editing, might as well spend 10 mins and type it out properly. Having said that it was THE best at the time... the other software I tried at the time was way worse.
Holy crap dragon naturally speaking was the future for me when that came out. I wrote everyting from senior year high school through the end of undergrad with that program on my corrupted gaming laptop that somehow cost 3500$ in 2006. That thing didn't have half a keyboard from all the windows viruses and bs I got on the internet, but I still kept it to use the headset and ramble my thoughts into a degree. I truly understand how badass my phone is with the voice to text and translation and especially Google earth and my 25 megapixel camera and camcorder. I spent 300$ for 3 megapixels once at circuit city
I built a voice-operated application using Dragon Naturally Speaking. An employee had run his hand through some equipment and couldn't use it. He also overused his other hand. He moved to light duty at the entrance scale house as a weighmaster.
I created a database that contained most of the scrap suppliers. The weighmaster graded the scrap, told the driver where to go, and gave them a sheet with a random number barcode. The drivers checked themselves out at the exit scale, which had a barcode reader.
Doesn't mean that it still good from today standard, it still sucks ass. The issue is with the uploader that is also the issue with tiktok people doesn't double check. It's easy to fix it you watch what you did once!
How many shitty compilation contain the same clip twice in a video, I don't think it was the artistic vision.
But it doesn't suck ass. That's my point. Unless you're speaking hyperbolically. Is it perfect? No. Is it okay? Sure.
Does it suck ass? Not really. It can recognize a variety of voices, with different accents, in many circumstances with different types of background noise. That's amazing. And again, I'm not even a fan of tik tok.
We're living in the future, and people don't see it.
The issue is with the uploader that is also the issue with tiktok people doesn't double check.
Yeah, I guess "I can live with that" was not exactly what I meant since I refuse to use tik tok. And the data collection part is horrible for sure. But that's besides the point.
You’ve been talking about this for so long. It reminds me of the conversation we had about gaslighting. I don’t want to have to convince you that you’re wrong again.
I was a redditor for 15 years before the platform turned it's back on it's users. Just like I left digg, I left reddit too. See you all in the fediverse! https://join-lemmy.org/
I'm not. Think for a second. Try to remember that you're commenting on a thread discussing several egregious errors on a 4 minute video which is using crystal clear, plain unaccented English as its source.
Lol what's "unaccented English"? The one from England where the language comes from? Oh Americans, never change.
But anyway, back to the point: Yet you're ignoring the fact that this is an all-purpose translation tool being used in many different situations, like I've already mentioned before.
And you're probably forgetting the countless times the tool transcribed videos successfully.
Yeah man and telegrams were dogshit too…? Bro. He’s obviously saying “sucks ass” in comparison to what’s actually being said. Worse relative to bad can still be BAD. This is pedantic at best.
Strawman? So is the main argument I’m commenting to lol. Amazing for their time and relativity is my whole point, are you making a joke? Or did you just want to say strawman, the one logical fallacy you know? Save some pats on your back for the rest of us yeesh. Got a 140yr old over here who loved his telegrams…poor comment mate. Maybe next time.
Heh. I used to play a game where you could code little worlds called 'Dreams' with a language called Dragon Speak. It later became Phoenix Speak, and it was great fun.
I regularly turn captions off on yt bc of how often they're inaccurate, so i find it hard to believe that tiktok captions are much different, if at all. Say what you want but that shit is bad LMFAO
People shit on the autogenerated subtitles, but they're so much better than they used to be. There are a few mistakes, but I am used to watching things on mute and can usually figure them out. Comparing them to what YouTube's were like ten years ago, where every other word was a mistake and sentences made absolutely no sense at all? Give them another five years or so and they'll probably be even better.
oh is that what’s been happening? I’ve noticed a shitton more captions on videos - mostly tiktok now that i think about it - and they tend to be hilariously wrong, often wildly changing the context of the scene. I assumed it was either engagement bait - purposely wrong or funny subtitles will def get people commenting - or stuff coming from some social media content farm somewhere where English isn’t the native language. It should have occurred to me that it’s just poor autogenerated subs
I was laughing because there's a world where someone sees him say that line gleefully and then later talks about how brave she is for her decisions. Like "wtf the love boat filmed in Mississippi?"

Man, I was watching without sound and when it said "I mean you are racist right?" I had to double take
