"ESSE É UM ESPERTO", or, "this is a smart one", in portuguese.
So far, LLM models have not demonstrated grasp on dual language phonetic jokes and false cognates.
Humans learn a second language very quickly, and false cognates that work on phonetics are the first steps in doing so, doesn't require a genius to understand.
I am yet to see an LLM that can demonstrate that. They can translate it, or repeat known false cognates, but can't come up with new ones on the spot.
If they do acquire that, we will come up with another creative example of what humans can do that machines can't.
- NooneAtAll3 2y agodo deaf/mute people recognize phonetic bilingual jokes?
- alganet 2y agoSign language in Brazil (Libras) is different from ASL. I am sure there are false cognate signs among them, and dual users of both sign languages can appreciate them.
- _heimdall 2y agoI have a deaf friend who can read lips in two languages. As far as I am aware she can pick up humor of all kinds in both. She knows ASL as well, but I don't think she knows any other dialect of sign language (is dialect the right term? I'm not actually sure).
