Catfish was upset about wasting effort

Catfish was making a last ditch effort to guilt anon back into talking to them

Just have your second language be English. I'm practicing it right now. Has to be the easiest language to learn for the sheer amount of English content there is.

Good point, OP should try being born with foreign parents

You have to make sure to dunk on people who natively speak English for being too dumb to learn their language too though

That's immediately the app I thought OP was using

some sanitized AI that doesn’t understand context or slang

That doesn't make sense to me, AI does understand context and slang, that's what makes it great for language learning, previously with basic language translation like google translate/dictionaries etc wouldn't understand localised context and slang

ChatGPT (and presumably the there chat LLMs) is way way better at this than DeepL or Google Translate, because you can give it context before. Like "A is a x and B is a Y, when A says z, what does that mean"

Sorry I thought you meant local context like:

https://chat.mistral.ai/chat/44fa329b-99db-4cb6-969c-4134ee3459a7

So when you ask it to translate something in context with local slang it will use it rather than the actual definition of the word

Yeah I don't get it. This person seems to lack introspection more than the average anon.

Kusimulkku@lemm.ee · 32 pts · 1y (9 replies)

I don't know if it was messed up. It was casual chats

Maalus@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 1y (8 replies)

Still not cool to ghost / disappear without even saying "hey thanks, but I'm going off the app"

Kusimulkku@lemm.ee · 14 pts · 1y (7 replies)

It's rude but I wouldn't call it "messed up", that's a bit much imo

Maalus@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 1y (6 replies)

Why? It is messed up. It costs you nothing to say that and saves the other person weeks of wondering what the hell happened, what they did wrong etc. Ultimately it means you used the other person as a means to an end - getting rid of boredom - instead of actually interacting and treating them like a human. And then you discarded them the second it got boring to you - without even saying a "goodbye".

Ghosting is always messed up, no matter the circumstances.

A bit dramatic over some random chat, innit

Feathercrown@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y (2 replies)

No

Kusimulkku@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Agree to disagree

Feathercrown@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

I disagree with that ;)

howrar@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

That would be a fair assessment if someone presents you with the two choices and you choose to ghost. But often what happens is that you just completely forget that the app existed. The question of cost never even comes into play.

Maalus@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 1y

Okay, whatever. This post talks about a dude getting bored and uninstalling the app, not forgetting about it existing.
