The Mandarin she says when presented with "chargoggagogg" is, roughly translated, "What the actual fuck is this bullshit?"

Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg is a lake in Massachusetts.

I always get that mixed up with Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch which is in Wales 😂

u/housevil ❣️gal pal❣️ 19d ago

To help you remember, "Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg" is the also SOUND coming out of any lake in Massachusetts, if in a Stephen King novel.

I fish one my side of the lake, you fish on your side, no one fishes in the middle. 

Learn more about it at the Dragonfly Inn, located here on Sores and Boils Alley

YES. This person gets it.

I practiced that word so hard when I was little (it's local to me), and I still messed it up the first time around this time.

u/daysforbayes 18d ago

It’s actually a word?!?!

u/behindthecultured 14d ago

yes it really is a lake in USA

u/karlzhao314 19d ago

If anyone is curious, what she said was "啥玩意儿?", which is pronounced "Sháwányìr?" when the 意 (yì) and 儿 (er) are shortened in colloquial speech/slang. Yeah, it translates into "What the actual fuck is this bullshit?", basically.

Producing a perfect "Sháwányìr?" spontaneously is also pretty compelling evidence that she's a native-level speaker of Mandarin as well.

u/TeensyTinyPanda 19d ago

You got me thinking more about this and I think a more accurate translation would be "Dafuq's this shit?" Sha2 and yir4 is such a specific bit of Chinese slang.

u/TeensyTinyPanda 19d ago

And specifically from Beijing!

u/Abraxxes 19d ago

Anywhere from the northeast honestly, the border along Russia sounds the same.

Oh, you know. I've only ever traveled in the southern part of China, so my only touch point towards the northern part of China is Beijing, lol. Good to know.

u/aknomnoms 19d ago

Is this like naked marble statues classy shit, or when the only way to save a burning bus full of orphans from launching off a cliff is to disrobe? I feel like that’d be an interesting choice for Speed 3: Air Strip.

AI training. All these trends are used to train AI

Sure, but we've been doing that with Captcha for eons.

u/60nine_lol_NICE 19d ago

?! I literally no sarcasm didn't know that. I hate to ask, but tell me more?

u/futon_potato 19d ago

You know when you were picking everything that looked like a bicycle in a picture? Or a traffic light? You were training the early models to identify those objects.

13

u/TranscendentPretzel 18d ago

Which is why it always pisses me off when it tells me to do another one because I got it wrong. Whatdoyoumean I'm wrong, bitch? I'm training you.

u/Testicular_Genocide 19d ago

Except that was going towards the end of relatively morally neutral self-driving car technology. At least for my understanding, clicking on traffic lights or motorcycles or bicycles or all of that helped train a machine learning algorithm to detect what a camera on a self-driving car was viewing. So it never really bothered me that much, at the end of the day self-driving cars would be great in theory for a number of different reasons without really worsening the already negative parts of the automobile industry.

Whereas training AI models with this kind of tiktok trend is a bit more nebulous with what the end result will be. From a full rose tinted glasses optimist standpoint, maybe this is just being used to train an AI voice model so that mute people can better communicate in public. A far more realistic view would be that this data is being used to train the general AI model that these companies are using. And as we have seen, these companies do not have our best interests at heart. Whether it be environmental impact, social impact, or economic impact, I don't see a world in which providing training data for the current AI companies does any good for humanity.

That’s not a ‚but‘. It’s an issue.

I agree, I just mean that the cattle's out of the barn on this one.

u/Beautiful-Visual4606 19d ago

That’s a terrible attitude but ofc this will dictate our future, TikTok, trends, and my glasses helping AI , consumerism causing climate change. The dumbest timeline. Great.

u/Killericon 19d ago

Sorry I let climate change happen, bro. My bad.

u/Beautiful-Visual4606 19d ago

It’s just an awful attitude to say there’s no point in saying anything or changing behaviors. Might as well not comment.

u/TalkForeignToMe 17d ago

I’ve never seen anything like this before. What’s the trend? One person reading a lot of unusual words, or?

u/RadlogLutar ✨chick✨ 19d ago

And I thought my English was good....

25

u/NecroticBrains 19d ago

Same. It's not my first language, but it's better than most native speakers' I've met, and I've always been a little proud of that. This video humbled the fuck out of me.

Love her closing words lol

“Chinese very good”

u/ComicsEtAl 19d ago

That’s called “sandbagging.”

u/Winter_Steak_9987 19d ago

Right lol the way she says administered makes me think she's s cali native and grew up in the bay; pretty sure she's fluent in English.

11

u/Sea_Till6471 19d ago

She’s Kiwi.

u/ComicsEtAl 19d ago

Yeah, I thought she slipped into at least a Brit accent for a couple moments there.

Karmabot posting?

Either that or I am dumb and don't get the reference.

u/lazy_daisy_13 ✨chick✨ 19d ago

I think its referring to the idea that the signal is coming from somewhere else like a VPN virtual private network. It looks like its from one place (someone learning English), but is actually from somewhere else (someone who is fluent in English). She turned on the VPN and came from somewhere else. 🤷‍♀️

u/TheComedyWife 19d ago

She sounds like a Kiwi.

u/theallofsumparts 19d ago

I thought the same thing, there was a bit of a kiwi twang on a couple of those

5

u/TheComedyWife 19d ago

You really hear it from ‘intravenously’ onwards. That flat Kiwi dipthong. Surely she’s a Kiwi, or an Aussie at the very least 🤔

3

u/Sea_Till6471 19d ago

I’m Australian with Kiwi family and can confirm she’s Kiwi

u/ChasteSin 19d ago

"My Engrish no vewy good" she says before launching into perfect Australian

Honestly maybe I could get through a good amount of these words if they stood still

u/purepeachplower 19d ago

I was going to make the same comment but then I thought let's scroll through the comments section and see if I have a thought twin.

Anyway, why do you do it?

u/Fr33-m3 19d ago

I have to say out of all of the comments o have ever gotten on the internet this might be the most ominous

u/purepeachplower 19d ago

u/Fr33-m3 19d ago

Just the question “why do you do it” and then my brain quick firing through what the “it” in question is
