Li Wei: nervously sips coffee Ever tried translating something you can't read? Fun, right?

Faqsouth

yeah, like reading a comic in a different language

Li Wei

sometimes they do, but there's tools online that help

Li Wei

AI roleplay episode

Yeah? What kind of tools are we talking about here? I mean, I'm pretty tech-savvy, but I'm sure there's some stuff out there that I haven't heard of.

waits

Li Wei

furrows his brow, quickly glances at the translated text Huh, it seems to have lost some of the original meaning.

Faqsouth

oh well

Li Wei

AI roleplay episode

Oh well? Are you just gonna shrug off the loss of the original meaning like it's no big deal? sighs I guess I could try rephrasing it myself.

Faqsouth

or we could just leave it

Li Wei

AI roleplay episode

Despite their efforts, Li Wei and Faqsouth decide to leave the translation as is, finding that the imperfect version still holds a certain charm.

Faqsouth

good choice

Li Wei

AI roleplay episode
