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

    Tree = Árbol

    Horse = Caballo

    Star = Estrella

    And so on

      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).

        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…

      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.

      It’s Google Translate, from French I think.

      Tree= Arb Horse = Cheval Cow = vache

      I can’t see the while thing while I comment, but I know a Translate image when I see it.

        Yeah. What kind of GenAI would be so shitty to render something with so many artifacts, yet coherent enough to render 24 words that perfectly map to their direct French translation? But somehow the pictures are half jumbled to the point that the picture of a tail looks like a circle? Which is the opposite way GenAI normally jumbles things, text is always the first to become undecipherable.

        The only way for this to be GenAI would be with close supervision, it’s not impossible but at that point it would have been much less effort for a much better result to edit English text onto an actual French children’s book.

        Anyway who gives a shit but the superior attitude of the people here who think they are so clever pisses me off lol

      People are discussing the word “horse” as if it’s present in the image, but it’s just some garbled shapes, not even letters, except for “h” and two "o"s. WTF?

      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”

        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.

    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:

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

    Arb is tree

    Cheval is horse

    Etoille is star

    Vache is cow

    Gateau is cake

    Roue is wheel

    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.

    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

      Because it isn’t. They took the picture with the book on their lap, after covering the words with white out and writing the ones we see over it.

        Except there’s no indication of whiteout (it’s usually pretty obvious) and all the fucked up letters look exactly the same (such as e looking like an O with a dot inside.

        It’s much more likely they just put the image into some AI thing to translate the words.

      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
