What he said was "the vehicle we drove was a lightweight tank.

I do like the idea that instead of launching nukes, Skynet tries to take over the world with Lighter Gangsters holding cakes.

Andrew Helmer

You are a lighter gangster, for sure

Ian Hunt

Now you have the title of your inevitable autobiography

John Briggs

Makes it sound like they couldn’t light the candles because you’d go around stealing all the lighters haha

If you hold the cake, you're a lighter gangster. If you eat the cake, you're a heavier gangster.

Ha ha… fookin nailed it! 😂 lol

Jeff K.

So what you’re saying is that when it comes to this translation, the cake is a lie?

🎶 Some people call me the Cake Holder / Some people call me the Gangster of Lighter 🎶

This one time AI translate told me to "Kick the Pomeranian" sort of like " kick the baby" haven't used it since.. I don't even own a Pomeranian.. weirdo robot..

I can't wait to see the fanart of your dad as a trenchcoat gangster, holding a lighter in one hand and a cake in the other.

Oh god. As a professional translator, all I can say is it looks really funny now, but we're all crying. I know this is not something people think about, and George is a big AI fan, and I'm not scolding you, I promise, but just please ...just don't give the companies all the data and money to kick us out of our jobs, please.

New t-shirt idea for the merch store!

Hamesque

I can't not read it to the tune of sk8er boi

I have used Google Translate and it works pretty good. I used " "the vehicle we drove was a lightweight tank." and Chinese (traditional) it translated to 我們駕駛的車輛是輕型坦克 Wǒmen jiàshǐ de chēliàng shì qīngxíng tǎnkè

Happy Hanukkah

In this screencap, George is trying to figure out whether his father is having a stroke or if his own Chinese is deteriorating.

brismithejedi

This makes sense to me. You had one of those lighters that looks like a gun and you held it sideways, like a gangsta, while lighting birthday cake candles. I don't see the problem.

FranciscoGios

Lol, this AI needs to find another job.

Jay Davis

ngl up until this exact moment I was worried about AI going rogue and ending us all... now? ...I think we're okay.

George, as a bit of language nerd, I'm curious if there's a more clear reason for you (being bilingual) why the AI translator would have gotten it so far off. Like is it maybe because it didn't 'hear' the tones in Cantonese right and got mixed up with similar sounding words?
