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 think that it’s just a screenshot of on-screen translation (like Google Lens or whatever, you can def see the artefacts) of this:
(Caption is, naturally, compete bullshit)
Before I zoomed in on the picture, my first thought is the letters supposed to represent their respective objects could have been in French words. A for arbre, b for balloon, and c for cheval.
Yup, the OOP is really just milking for social media likes by faking the post.
Yes, I had that thought too - as a learning tool/exercise for kids perhaps, but the use value would have been weird (in the sense that usually they well tell you to ‘only speak that language’ when you are learning it).
Might even be AI translated, as the font is whack

What I meant was AI image manipulation, as in uploading the image to chatGPT and saying “give me this image with english text”

I know what you mean but thats not what happened here
They used white out and then wrote the translated words in. It’s obvious when you zoom in.
The pictures have the same kind of artifacts though. This is AI upscaled at the very least.
Thats how translators & augmented reality works.
Picture translators add text boxes in another language on top of recognized text. They don’t contain such artifacts and can be rendered at any resolution. These artifacts will only appear if output from a picture translator is processed further.
Oh, Im dumb, you mean these white boxes:

ok but how did google translate go from Yacht to Yote??? what is a Yote???
Past tense of Yeet.
Yeet, yote, yut
Yotten in British English.
I bet is an Spanish books translated to English, 'cause:
Tree = Árbol
Horse = Caballo
Star = Estrella
And so on
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.
okay thats great but can just one person please explain to me what a “Yote” is?? like they got that one tight Yote starts with Y but what is a Yote 😭
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…
Ah so one of these situations
How are people not noticing this “book” is entirely AI generated with all the fucked up non-letters in the words?
But Abazz said his mom bought that book. He wouldnt lie to me :(
The book is real. I think someone tried to translate/upscale it with AI and that’s why this looks so creepy.
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.
Is it just me or are the images and text AI generated?
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 it’s AI upscaling
that’s likely it yes

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
My initial thought was that each picture/text was AI and then put together. But from reading the comments now, looks like a real picture book went through an AI somehow.
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.
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?
OP, this is absolutely a Google Translate image of a French ABC book into English.
Arbre is tree
Cheval is horse
Etoille is star
Vache is cow
Gateau is cake
Roue is wheel
Edit: le typo
Yup, found the original:
That helicopter needs work.
Naw that’s one of them French helicopters that only flies backwards.
Sorry France lol
Ironically, the n°1 helicopter manufacturer in the world is a French company.
Maybe it’s some sort of vertibird.
Maybe they were gonna use that pic for the A (avion) and then forgot to update it when it got bumped in place of the tree.
Helicoptere helicoptere
Coffre à argent coffre à argent
The text in the image is all wonky and full of artifacts, which had me wondering if it was made by AI.
It’s most likely upscaled. The pictures have the same artifacts.
I thought it was a Charlie horse and apple tree.
Eric the star, Pete the fish…yep, that’s it.
Arbre
Sorry, my brain wrote it phonetically in gringospeak.
I was gonna guess Spanish until I got to cake 😂
Arbol, Caballo, Estrella, etc.
Yote is the past tense of yeet
Ok, so assume it’s French. The words now make sense. But, look at the pictures.
Does that look anything like a helicopter / hélicoptère? What does that pink round thing have to do with snow / neige? Why does the image for a tail / queue look like a radish? And what’s with the letter for Y? Common Y words in french for kids are things like “yak”, “yaourt” (yogurt), “yeux” (eyes), “yeti”, “yacht”, “yoga”, “yo-yo”. They seem to have chosen “yole”, which in english is “yawl”, defined as “a two-masted fore-and-aft-rigged sailboat with the mizzenmast stepped far aft so that the mizzen boom overhangs the stern.” And yet, although the image appears to be a sailboat (voilier), it’s a one-masted sailboat.
This looks incredibly ai generated
Looks like Google translate without proofreading.
Because it is. If you zoom on the “Alphabetical” on the right the letters looks smushed together, same goes for the letters under Q and T.
Has nobody here ever used a pen before? Lol
Doesn’t look like pen artefacts to me
That’s because it obviously is. Idk how people look at that book and think it was made by a human with the understanding of language.
It’s not, though. The book is just in French.
Ahh yes, the French word for “star” is “slπr”
Because of the awful AI upscaling
To me it looks like a genuine book with an instant “Google Translate using Camera” type layer overtop, that tries to translate the words into another language while matching the look and feel of the original.
The Google Translate camera things puts big obvious rectangles of text over the replaced text, not this AI slopfest
Right, so it presumably isn’t Google.
“Helloopter”
It’s just the shitty resolution, but still.

The VCow goes moooooooo
Either the whole image is AI gen or someone used AI gen to make a childrens book.
I think its the former and the whole post is just bullshit.
The book is 1000% AI generated. The text and images are blurry mid journey nonsense. I mean, “helicopter” is a fucked up looking plane ffs.
However, it would be a massive coincidence that all the words have a French translation that fits the letter. The OP could’ve done that intentionally, but that seems like a lot more effort for an AI generated post
If it’s AI generated, it’s a hell of a coincidence that the letters all match the French words for those things.
All the words are 100% generated unless someone went to the trouble of making a font that looks exactly like AI generated text. The pants under the book are also just nonsense blobs.
unless someone went to the trouble of making a font that looks exactly like AI generated text.
Can I just say that’s a hilariously evil idea to fuck with people and if I knew more about font formats I’d be tempted to give it a go.
Again, that is one hell of a coincidence.
I actually think you are both right… But it’s likely some one is using an AI translator that is trying to reconstruct the original picture with the translated words substituted in the original words place.
It’s AI. Look at the word that’s supposed to be “Horse”.
My guess is that the pic is some instant translation app that tries to mimic the original font. The Google translate app has this feature where it replaced text with a translation in real time through the camera.
It’s probably in-place translation using AI for a French book
I think we have the solution here.
I guess that app also fucks with everything else in the image tho, not just text.
Could very well be ML repainting, “draw this image with English text”
Can we acknowledge how weird it is that the word they chose for U was “Universe”. Seems a bit grandiose for a letter book for young children.
“A is for apple. B is for balloon. C is for THE COSMIC VOID OF INFINITE SPACE”
M is for mesothelioma
“H is for: Horrors beyond human comprehension”
it checks out with french
Ah yes, P for Phish, classic kindergarten stuff
This is AI though, or am I being whooshed
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
Edit: Yeah I found the original, it’s just the upscaling. https://x.com/abazwhyllzz/status/1576904534416232449?t=pSDDUbYTruzC5PZQtFgFKA&s=19
it fucks it up so much I’m pretty sure it’s ai upscaling
not sure if the book is AI or if there’s AI uprezzing, check the letters in the microblog too.
