Post the oranges scene.

I have an announcement to make. I will no longer be lurking regularly on /vn/ for VNTS edMTL updates. So please if you have an entry that should be included, drop it here instead (o/t crap can stay in /vn/). Basically the information density has gone downhill for many months now, and while /vn/ had its cyclical ups and downs over the years, I now consider it largely irrelevant and don't see how it can recover without intervention.

>>51340377
>true, but when you add the M then it stands for TRANSLATION
No, it just stands for Machine Tranny Lobotomy. But when you remove the M, magic happens and it becomes a translation, that people read.

>Umineko mtl
What's the point when there's a perfectly fine translation that's been available for a decade and a half?

>>51342190
It's not perfectly fine and I don't mean that to like troll or shill the MTL or anything like that. Witch Hunt's TL has been known for awkward English and bad lines for a long time, it also had to fix up its TL constantly throughout the episode releases due to getting important clues wrong. I'm not about to tell people to go read the MTL but even a theoretical human TL seeking to improve Witch Hunt's would be very welcome. Having alternatives that are liable to be better and improved is great.

>>51342190
It's because MAO is a schizo, you see

>>51342190

No, Gambs, official publishers aren't using MTL. Take your meds.

Besides, as an AI shill, wouldn't you love if the publishers started putting out MTL slop? What is this retarded hypocrisy of dunking on the Chinese publishers that put out MTL slop, while worshipping the slop you put out?

The burden of proof is on you, retardbro.
>uhm, yes?
Then why the Chinese MTL hate? You didn't answer my question.

Also, I have an important question for you. Is there a single human translation of a VN that you think is good? If not, you are just acting in bad faith, and are an AI shill.

>>51344145
>The burden of proof is on you, retardbro.
here you go >>51339891

>Then why the Chinese MTL hate?
i don't know? what does this have to do with anything?

>Is there a single human translation of a VN that you think is good?
a tl that "reads" good or a tl that's "translated" good? there are tons of the first kind (most official ones) yet apparently none of the second kind (depending on your standards). if you know a better (as in "more accurate") pre-ai TL then fat morgan than let me know, i'm curious

that said, there's no reason for settling for human tls nowadays, since ai can easily get to 99.5%+, as seen with the latest sakuuta demo and the sayooshi fantl

>>51344155
>here you go
I asked for actual proof. Not schizo AI shilling.
>what does this have to do with anything?
And now you are playing stupid?
>yet apparently none of the second kind
>no reason for settling for human tls nowadays, since ai can easily get to 99.5%+
You just confirmed that you don't care about actual translation quality. All you care about is hitting an arbitrary number on your retarded AI QC slop check.
>sakuuta demo and the sayooshi fantl
Meds. Now.

>>51344190
>I asked for actual proof. Not schizo AI shilling.
i showed you an actual proof, not schizo ai shilling. unless of course you wanna claim that human tls can be 99%+ accurate, but in that case the burden of proof is on you (though i can do the qc in your place, just tell me the vn title)
>And now you are playing stupid?
no? i don't know what chinese mtl reception has to do with this discussion

>You just confirmed that you don't care about actual translation quality. All you care about is hitting an arbitrary number on your retarded AI QC slop check.
define translation quality then, i'm all years. if it's neither "how well it reads" nor "how faithful it is" then i'm out of ideas

>>51344155
>that said, there's no reason for settling for human tls nowadays, since ai can easily get to 99.5%+,

You know AI fags might have been tolerated if they didn't aggressively shill their slop like a bunch of jeets.

concession accepted

Just finished MTLing a superduper kamige. Gonna playtest it now before releasing it.

>>51344400
???

It really is remarkable how the honest people being open about the power of LLMs in translation (their skill at translating + their skill in QCing translations) get shit on, while companies and fan-translators just use it in private without telling anyone while reaping the rewards. It's totally backwards. We're ringing the alarm bells that MTL now has this capacity and that companies are going to start shifting over it to save costs and improve quality. Meanwhile, while that actually happens, people are rolling their eyes.

The VN community is lucky it had some small amount of honest people at least because otherwise this would be happening while everyone is ignorant. At least now people have a choice to acknowledge and see the truth that, indeed, the sudden uptick of near 100% accurate translations as judged by LLMs is because companies and fans have started using LLMs. That can't be changed, but what can be changed is being informed about it.

>>51344411
who do you you think is behind the JEET JEET JEET screechings in this thread? it's publishers' lackeys, they are all unironically
>afraid
of losing money, they don't care about what people read. that's also why they resort to ad hominem with no argument, because they objectively have none

>>51344411
>>51344414
I don't mind AI and I even hope the tools become even more accessible to everyone. What I don't like however are faggots like you both and MAO stroking their e-peens for doing fuck all. All this 'educating' nonsense is just embarrassing. If I MTL things I just keep it to myself like any normal person would.

>>51344308
It's slop

>>51344451
i'm anonymous tho? but we can agree on MAO

>>51344454
Human translations out of nowhere.

>>51344451
I'm anonymous. Also, doesn't being annoyed by some faggots on 4chan matter a lot less than like the global sweeping change being documented and explained? It's kind of as if you were like "sure this cure for cancer is neat and all, but the people telling me about it sure are annoying."

>>51344478
Nothing needs to be explained, sloplator. It's slop. We already know this

>>51344201
>unless of course you wanna claim that human tls can be 99%+ accurate
How good a translation is not based on how high it gets on your retarded AI QC slop check. Get it through your head, promptard. What matters is how well it conveys the intent of the author, and how well it flows. Donald Keene's translations are the most lauded and respected in their field, to the point of your boyfriend gambs worshipping them, and that guy hates 99% of Japanese to English translations. Yet he doesn't even score that high on your AI QC slop check.

>>51344211
Do they even have psychiatrists in South Africa? Since you clearly need to visit one.

>>51344308
>you still haven't answered what "actual translation quality" means btw
I am not even the same guy. Meds, retard.

>>51344494
>What matters is how well it conveys the intent of the author, and how well it flows
the average human translation (for visual novels) fails at both

>>51344478
You genuinely have a Messiah complex, holy shit. Meds, NOW.

>>51344478
You act like nobody knows about MTL or AI? Really? Everywhere you look its AI this, AI that. So yes I get annoyed when even here it gets spammed constantly. Also look at something like sadpanda which has gotten flooded with low effort slop. When nobody pushes back or calls things out, standards invariably start to drop. And AI is the great equaliser right now, no need to act all self righteous about it.

>>51344502
And so does your clanker slop.

Also, c'mon, address Donald Keene. I know that you won't, because you know that you would just humiliate yourself.

>>51344508
>Also look at something like sadpanda which has gotten flooded with low effort slop
irrelevant, we're talking about high quality translations not google translate-tier garbage

>>51344510

Is every new thread going to be this same back and forth autism from now on?

>>51344512
>we're talking about high quality translations
no, we're talking about AI translations

>>51344517
exactly, that's what I said

>>51344518
Ok, glad we agree they're not the same thing

>>51344522
you are low iq

>>51344523

>>51344508
>You act like nobody knows about MTL or AI? Really? Everywhere you look its AI this, AI that.
When I started talking about this, and even to this day, people indicate a lot of ignorance about MTL and AI's role in it, yes. Many do not have any idea of how good it is right now, and those who do largely only know due to these kinds of efforts.
>Also look at something like sadpanda which has gotten flooded with low effort slop.
I honestly think that gooners fapping to translated porn 24/7 is the main reason MTL still has a bad name; random third worlders dumping images into google translate is not representative of MTL and in a couple of years SadPanda will be flooded with extremely high fidelity MTL too once models get better at image editing. MTL is not one coherent entity; those using frontier LLMs and third-worlders dumping images into shitty tools are not the same. That's kind of like talking about human translations being slop because you found a particularly bad ESL translator.

>>51344494
>What matters is how well it conveys the intent of the author, and how well it flows
so, "how faithful it is" and "how well it reads"?

>>51344510
>Donald Keene
no idea who that is but if you tell what vn he has translated i'll run the qc with the same prompt

>>51344529

>>51344542
No, see, you did this last thread. People told you why it's shit and now you're here the next week asking again. This is because you have brain damage...

>>51344516
It sadly seems like that way yes. Both sides are extremely defensive so no normal discussion is possible. Which for a neutral spectator makes it almost unreadable.
>>51344529
That's all well and good, but when someone posts something not about MTL, it immediately gets drowned out by spam. If you're truly acting in good faith you don't need to do that. It just makes this thread unreadable and eventually it will die. It's glaringly obvious that some AI fags just have something against TL companies or Fan TLs and are just using AI 'discussion' to attack them, and I personally just don't give a shit about all this drama constantly.

>>51344535
I said "in a couple years" for retarded third worlders using free tools; first worlders with access to good tools already are getting good results.

>>51344551
>but when someone posts something not about MTL, it immediately gets drowned out by spam. If you're truly acting in good faith you don't need to do that.
*I'm* acting in good faith, but obviously not *everyone* is acting in good faith. And I don't really know what you expect in that regard. There's always going to be trolls in situations like this. "This cure for cancer is all nice and all, but the people spamming about doctors being unemployed now are really annoying, I really just don't give a shit about all this drama." It does suck that there's spam (on both sides, hello ESLmasa00), but this is 4chan, it is what it is. You can't really experience a massive social change that will lead to the end of the translation industry as we know it without getting some spamming trolls. You should be hating on trolls, not the cure for cancer.

>>51344548
>people told you
no you didn't, you just screeched like a retarded monkey calling everything bad because it's just bad

>>51344557
But I never said I hate AI or MTL, I'm just pointing out why people are not going to be welcoming about it. And you also will have to accept that until the trolls and low effort slop go away, it will remain like that. Also the cure for cancer thing is a bad comparison, currently AI is a very useful tool but nothing more than that. It's not yet as revolutionary as some people claim it to be.

>>51344582
tools don't solve millennium problems...

>>51344582
it's literally a god that can do anything you want

>>51344582
To me it's like a massive nuke has just collided with and erased the Eurasian continent, only for a random American in Idaho to not really feel like anything is different since he woke up and tended to his farm just like any other day. It would take weeks or maybe even months for his day-to-day to be impacted by the eradication of half the globe. Right now, AI is completely upending society from the bottom up with Terrence Tao announcing "Math 2.0" and software developers announcing "the end of software as we know it," but because it doesn't impact gas prices or what have you plenty of people can remain ignorant of this.

In terms of translation and VNs specifically, the version of this is translators losing their jobs slowly and publishing companies either switching over to AI or getting dropped by Japanese companies switching to AI; that's all happening, but invisibly and behind back doors, while the common user doesn't feel it. I'd say every visual novel to ever exist getting rapidly translated to, at minimum, human fan translator level or above is pretty revolutionary.

>>51344595
But how can you be 100% sure it will only be used for the "good of the people"? Why is it that if even when there's even a tiny bit of criticism against it, you're immediately branded a retarded luddite? Sorry but I will remain sceptical about all this for the foreseeable future. But this discussion is getting a bit too off-topic. And I will remain by my point that AI fags are not helping themselves by acting the way they are doing right now.

>>51344605
>Why is it that if even when there's even a tiny bit of criticism against it, you're immediately branded a retarded luddite?
no one can actually give any legitimate criticism

>>51344605
I didn't say anything about the good of the people. I think that governments should be dropping nukes on AI data centers immediately before AGI rapidly develops an ASI that sends poison nanobots into our veins to kill us before we can shut it down. But my opinion on that and my opinion on AI translation quality are two separate matters. And indeed, up to this point there has been literally, genuinely, zero actual criticism of LLM-powered MTL. No bilingual has actually looked through an Astra or Opus 5.5 script and given it a meaningful takedown. That's why publishers are secretly using it now, after all. It actually does improve quality.

>>51344615
>ASI that sends poison nanobots into our veins to kill us
this projection says more about your outlook on life than on what ASI can or will do once created

>>51344611
I'm not talking about TL quality or whatever, I'm talking about the fact that currently all AI models are in the hands of just a few big tech companies who are basically under the complete control of 2 competing superpowers. You really don't think there could be problems with that in the future? Are you really that naive?

>>51344615
That's all well and good, but what if they start censoring again or even use it against VNs? If the models get shut down again by some retards in the government what will happen then? The industry will be dead and there might be nothing to salvage any more. That's why I think it should either become completely open source or a balance needs to be kept between AI and humans. Until that time I will not be joining in all this celebration.

>>51344615
>And indeed, up to this point there has been literally, genuinely, zero actual criticism of LLM-powered MTL.
Maybe if you're retarded. Which you seem to be

>>51344650
still waiting btw

>>51344654
For your brain damage to heal? It won't. It's permanent

>>51344638
Presently, uncensored Chinese models and open weight local LLMs actually are already decent for translation, and it won't be long before they're excellent too - 1 year or so judging by current rates of them catching up to the frontier. Even publishers are tech-savvy enough to know to implement a deepseek fallback for stuff Astra won't translate. It's unlikely the models will get shut down by the government because it is currently a geopolitical race with America being desperate to beat China in the "AI war" to the point of electing AI Czars and shit. Finally, even if for some reason LLMs were nuked from existence, the industry could just go back to using human translators without much fanfare, it would not be dead and unsalvageable.

I would say your celebration should be tempered by the fact there is going to be massive job loss and possible global destruction rather than the idea that it's purely temporary that models can translate well. Translation really is only a really small part of a far more massive global picture.
>>51344650
As always, feel free to link an actual takedown of an Astra/Opus 5.5 translation. The one translator who tried with Albatross completely embarrassed himself.

>>51344657

>>51344674
It's low-quality. That's what slop means

Phil Long is the golden standard for VN translations. Pretty sure that even gambs the criminal respected him, and he hates 99% of translators. Now go ahead and humiliate yourself, by critizing his translations.

>>51344948

"Gold standards" are hardly relevant in this kind of conversation when 99% of translators, indeed, do not meet a golden standard

>>51344976

The whole concepted of getting "sniped" isn't going to make any sense much longer. Everyone just has to assume every game in the world can and will get MTL'd, and that translating as a human is doing so with the full knowledge your patch will come out months to years after the MTL does.

>>51347490
most people still think MTL is stuck on deepL. once they'll see 3 different patches of their game popup, each being better than their sloplation, THEN they will finally notice

Yes, but that was an actual translation, not MTL slop, lol. No one sane considers a VN as sniped, just because MTL slop was made by some unemployed South African nigger or a criminal wanted by the Korean police.

it's banned goog

>>51347729
It's mostly a politeness thing, and I know that will sound faggy or whatever, but generally it is a decent thing to try to avoid working on the same thing as another person so that they don't end up wasting hundreds of hours of their life releasing a late translation. It's not really a community problem and more of an individual problem. Like in the case of Albatross, it would just generally not be decent to start a translation knowing a human one is coming and potentially waste all the hours that guy spent. Even if the community may as well benefit from 2 patches coming out.

Now, the concept is gone because everyone has to translate knowing a high quality MTL can or will already come out at any moment. One is already wasting their time, so there's no concept of getting "sniped."

>>51347742
