Seems useful at times, I had a game start up in Chinese recently, and had to use Google translate from my phone camera to figure out how to change it back to English.
This would be cool for being able to read random ass kanji in the background. Or figuring out if it’s actually kanji or some made-up bullshit that simply looks like kanji.
Seems neat, though I don’t have a use for it.
It’d be much more helpful to me if it just used those OCR boxes to provide mouse-over dictionary lookups via yomitan rather than a translation.
I’ve literally never had a use for something like this.
Oh i have this is gonna be awesome for untranslated games
Yeah, it’s definitely more for a specific groups of people, such as those who play old untranslated emulated titles and such.
Hm, I see. Like old Japan exclusive titles. Haven’t thought about that.

As someone who’s never had a problem “being the product” I’ve since changed by tune thanks to AI.
The less software I have spying on me, the better.
(I’m sure they’re not straight up spying but you have to be screen grabbing / recording to make this work)

And why did that change your mind?
The abuses they did do with it and could have done with your data before ai weren’t enough to concern you but amalgamating that data with countless others to have it abused that way is too much?? Even tho they literally already were doing exactly that before AI was a thing?
Using your data to take advantage of every human weakness they could justify was already happening but NOW your not OK with it. Like has it made you rethink everything or just nah turn you off now cowardly shit?
The law could have changed at any time to turn you into a criminal based on the public data you intentionally gave away. They could have arrested you for supporting the wrong cause emailing the wrong person or exploring political ideas or arrested people in your network because it gave them access to THEIR data (google android push notifications, Facebook messages snapchat ect)
