31One line, so many vibes! Why AI fails at "Deep" Japanese. 🇯🇵✨
The following is an excerpt from the new work, *Kirishima Rekka - Four Emperors: Crimson Bullet*.
Original text: "Do you think a demon is possessing me?! That's ridiculous!!"
AI translation rendered it as "A demon...possessing me?! That's ridiculous!!"
...Hmm, that's not right. 🙄 I tried to have the AI translate the nuances of archaic Japanese, but it got stuck in a strange loop and the translation is terrible. Let me explain a little more.
In the background of this scene, the young Onmyoji (an elite from a prestigious family that produces the country's guardian deities) is basically saying:
"Possessed by a demon?
You're saying that to me, a member of such a prestigious family?
You're kidding, right?
Do you have some kind of grudge against me?"
"What are you talking about, hey?"
"Watch your mouth, or I'll hit you."
Saying this, he takes a step forward,
approaching the source of the unknown voice. However, they are enjoying their steps.
This is the nuance behind these words.
Rather than a strong threat, it could be seen as an expression of confidence.
In this way, Japanese, especially archaic Japanese, contains multiple layers of meaning, including irony that AI could never fully comprehend. Japanese is truly profound.
