Will ChatGPT Give the Right Answers about Japanese Culture? Shogo vs. ChatGPT

[@warwizard1309]

Why not try asking the questions in Japanese? Just to see if the answers change due to cultural bias in the AI training data.

[@UnimportantAcc]

i assumed this vid would be in japanese

[@zagrych]

there is no bias in chat gpt because it was never trained for accuracy of information at all as a language model. or to put it another way you could say it had apl the biases? chat gpt is amazing but definitely not a source for accurate brand new information without fact checking haha😅

[@warwizard1309]

@@zagrych you misunderstood my point The cultural bias is inherently present in the training data cause the English input is written mostly by Occident sources which are interpreting a foreign culture through their own. Input written in Japanese is on the contrary written mostly by Japanese which by obvious reasons are a more reliable source of information on Japanese culture.

[@zagrych]

@@warwizard1309 almost all content that chat gpt is trained on is not written at all by its creators, but just scoured from the internet and other sources. I totally agree that asking the question in japanese will give different answers and use different sources. Asking the exact same question mutliple times will also give different answers and use different sources. Since no accuracy checking is involved at all.

[@p3falien233]

That's pretty smart actually, i'm kinda curious now :)

I miss watching your videos. You are truly talented at making them and I was learning so much!!! I hope you're doing okay these days!! 🥰

[@DominicanStud101]

It’s so great to watch another video from this channel! Some of the English words in today’s video were challenging. Keep trying your best!

[@naruomi9477]

Shogo you always make great videos. Your the reason why I got into Japanese swords. I’ve spent over 500 hours researching and studying about it. !!! 😁

[@psychicpebbles7910]

I believe when it said crossing swords that it meant the act of two people bumping katana while in the street or in general.

[@ShawnValsean]

Is touching a katana blade 'always' bad? I've seen techniques in different ryuha that involve placing a hand/fingers on the blade (but not necessarily grabbing the blade)

[@FFXI_Addict]

If you're in a store, or somebody else has handed you THEIR sword to look at, touching the blade is extremely rude and disrespectful to the sword owner, and the sword itself because it is NOT necessary to touch the blade in those situations. For kata that involve touching the blade, extra care should be used to wipe the blade due to natural acids in human sweat which cause corrosion.

[@ShawnValsean]

@@FFXI_Addict Is it the same for when you sheath the katana as well? I imagine dragging it along your hand may cause the same kind of corrosion eventually

[@kairoSan13]

Crossing two Katanas I think is referring to when two people are walking and your katana hits the other person’s katana. I saw that on a one piece short about Ryuma

[@guilhermecastro9893]

that would mean a fight had to ensue as if you hit another samurai's sword it is considered disrespectful thats why tokugawa ieyasu deemed it necessary that samurai travalled on the right tside of the road with their swords on the left

[@Youtuber_Chiu]

Hi, I am Mei-yun Chiu, born in Taiwan and living in Ibaraki, Japan. Thank you for your greatly practical information. Well, once I watch Shogo's film about ChatGPT, I believe that the teachers of Japanese culture, like Shogo, is reliable than AI, such as Chat GPT, because you are explaning about the culture and the reality of Japan elaborately. Although every foreigners have their different experience of living in Japan, of course, I would still like to check my recognition of Japanese society with my humble heart by useful literature or right information all the time. Well, I wish that you have the wonderful life. BEST REGARDS.

[@feral_shade]

@shogo "espionage" is pronounced the same as the Pokemon, Espeon. The term is French, so the suffix "-age" has a sound that's about halfway between "j" and "sh" "Guerilla" and "gorilla" are homonyms. I hope this helps :)

Final Boss words of the english language: espionage, assassination and Guerilla warfare

[@kadda1212]

I asked DeppGPT some of the questions. It's a satirical AI chat bot from the Postillon (something like the Onion in German). It told me the following katana taboos: don't jump around with it swinging wildly like some crazy ninja, don't use it as a toothpick, don't cut bread with it.

[@skeletonbuyingpealts7134]

Perfect

[@Roseecactuar]

For the onsen, it may be obvious for Japanese people not to bring cell phones or drinks at the onsen. But where I live in Canada, in some baths you can bring your drinks to the pool, and people mess around with phones and take videos and stuff even though it's forbidden. It's very very annoying, it's probably a western thing. So I'm not surprised Chat GPT mentioned it, since you wrote your questions in English, it probably took the instructions it found on the internet for foreigners visiting Japan.

[@IgorNV]

[@five-toedslothbear4051]

Hi, Shogo! Love the video. I like to use ChatGPT to help out a bit with my Japanese language study, and yes, answers should be checked for accuracy. I did notice at the beginning that you used the GPT-3.5 model. I've noticed a lot of differences between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. If some of the answers didn't seem that great, perhaps consider trying them with the GPT-4 model for comparison.

I have a question about the onsen rules, you mensoned that if you gave a tattoo you might be asked to cover it up, but how would you cover it up if you arent allowed to wear any kind of clothing or bathing suit?

[@kaltaron1284]

I think what ChatGPT meant with "crossing katana" was while walking around with them and bumping into each others. Dis-embowelment: Think "to bow" not "bow" (and arrow). Might help.

[@mx.notyourbusiness8693]

Hey Shogo, in case you are in need of content ideas: How about making a video about Irasutoya? Since you use their graphics all the time. I see them on at least 50% of other japanese channels as well and i read that they're so commonly used in Japan, by companies and even the government, that the artist got praised on japanese media but also some japanese people are really annoyed seeing them everywhere. Some even go as far as calling it the "Comic Sans of illustrations in Japan". But to people outside of Japan it's just adorable graphics, haha! 😆 I've looked up the website in the last days to see what it offers and the amount of work Takashi Mifune has put into it is really astonishing. Though it might also be worth shedding some light on competitors as well or the whole illustration scene in Japan apart from Manga since Irasutoya doesn't really need even more publicity i guess. Maybe the idea is too niche and doesn't really fit the format of your channel but i thought i'd suggest it. Non-japanese KZbin seems to have only 2 videos about it yet.

[@olivetree9920]

Try it again in Japanese to see if there is much of a difference

This comment is unrelated to the video and it's quite a selfish request, but are there any Japanese channels similar to Shogo's?

[@Practitioner_of_Diogenes]

I've been hearing new onsan outright don't have the tattoo policies, as well as organized crime is way, way less of an issue as it was in the 70s and 80s. But, that's largely me "hearing" about it and not being able to prove it (outside that one onsan Azur Lane collabed with where their website says tattoos are allowed), as most onsan don't have websites and the ones that do I can't exactly dig around on, as I can't read Japanese.

I would never use the word Seppuku for joking around about something. I always use Harakiri for such conversations with friends.

But now it makes sense.
