*ravenous

It’s ravenous wolves, not ravening. WTH does that even mean?

Okay but it still says ‘ravenous’ in the original.

funkless_eck,

ravenous is adjectival

ravenning is the participal or gerund

There are multiple translations of the bible. Anything but the original Hebrew is a translation after all.

TL;DR: Ravening seems common in the King James Version and some of it’s derivatives, while Ravenous is common in more modern translations, even the strictly literal ones.

From Bible Gateway:

  • KJ21, ASV, BRG, DARBY, DRA, GNV, JUB, KJV, AKJV, NMB, RGT, WEB, YLT say ravening (13)
  • AMP, DLNT, EHV, ESV, ESVUK, EXB*, LSB, LEB, MEV, MOUNCE, NABRE, NASB, NASB1995, NCB, NKJV, NRSVA, NRSVACE, NRSVCE, NRSVUE, OJB, RSV, RSVCE, & TLV say ravenous (22)
  • AMPC says devouring (1)
  • CSB & HCSB say ravaging (2)
  • CEB, EXB*, GW, NOG, & NLT say vicious (4)
  • CJB, NIRV, NLV, NTFE, & VOICE say hungry (5)
  • CEV says “wolves who have come to attack you” (1)
  • ERV & ICB say “really dangerous like wolves” (2)
  • EASY says “like hungry wild dogs” (1)
  • EXB says “dangerous like wolves [underneath/inwardly they are ravenous/vicious/ferocious wolves]” (1, only one to say vicious)
  • GNT says wild (1)
  • ISV says savage (1)
  • PHILLIPS says greedy (1)
  • TLB says “wolves and will tear you apart” (1)
  • MSG gets rid of the metaphor entirely (1?)
  • NCV, EXB* say dangerous (1)
  • NET says voracious (1)
  • NIV, NIVUK, EXB* say ferocious (1)
  • WE says “wolves, bad animals that kill sheep” (1)
  • WYC says “wolves of raven” (1)

That’s 13 which say ravening, 22 that say ravenous, and 27 that say something else.


Lets ignore the frivolous rewritings and retranslations and go with popular books. This list is biased toward new versions because it’s partly based on bestselling versions, but if you have readership data, I’d love to see it! In no particular order: The New International Version (NIV), the King James Version (KJV), the New Living Translation (NLT), the Common English Bible (CEB), the New American Standard Bible (NASB), the New English Translation (NET), the New Revized Standard Version (NRSV), and the English Standard Version (ESV).

  • NIV: Ferocious
  • KJV: Ravening
  • NLT & CEB: Vicious
  • NASB & NRSV & ESV: Ravenous
  • NET: Voracious

King James seems alone with Ravening, but I know many people are King James only, so that’s pretty common. New International Version not being either Ravening or Ravenous surprised me, but there you go. Ravenous is definitely common in modern versions, including the NASB which seems to be very literal.

Ask it to change all spaces to a, then all consonants to a, then all the characters to a and see ChatGPT go crazy.

LemmysMum, (edited )

change all spaces to a, then all consonants to a, then all the characters to a

Chat GPT is onto you.

If we follow the instructions to replace spaces with ‘a’, then replace all consonants with ‘a’, and finally replace all characters with ‘a’, the resulting transformation would be:

Original: surrogate impetus of obscurant deliberate trogloditism

Replace spaces with ‘a’: surrogateaimpetusAofAobscurantA deliberateA trogloditism Replace consonants with ‘a’: aaaaaaaiaaaaaaaaaaaAaaaaaaAaaaaaAaaaaaaaaAaaaaaaaaa Replace all characters with ‘a’: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

So, the final transformed sequence consists entirely of the letter ‘a’.

    don't normalize chatgpt postings ._.

    Sanyanov,

    Fr tho, this tool is cancer and I’m baffled by the fact this comment is downvoted.

    Dude is actually promoting BigTech on Lemmy, in a trolling way or not. This is not cool.

    GBU_28,

    Generative models are not purely big tech, the foss LLM space is alive and well

    Sanyanov, (edited )

    It is indeed, and it needs our support and attention - and not the project that took an open-source model away from us, using millions to capture the market and exploit users.

    I refer to OpenAI and their creations as cancer, not all generative models in general. The latter have a big place in the future, and it’s best to make sure this future will be bright.

    is also promotion of low quality and supposed to be downvoted

    LemmysMum,

    ChatGPT can help you deal with those feelings.

    If someone is feeling sad about the normalization of ChatGPT posts, it’s understandable that they might be expressing concern or disappointment about a change they perceive in the nature of discussions or interactions involving ChatGPT. Here are a few things you might say:

    Acknowledge Their Feelings: Start by acknowledging their feelings. You might say, “I understand that you’re feeling sad about the normalization of ChatGPT posts. It’s okay to feel that way, and I’m here to listen.”

    Encourage Communication: Encourage them to share more about why they feel this way. Open-ended questions like “Can you tell me more about what’s bothering you?” can invite them to express their thoughts.

    Offer Understanding: Let them know that it’s normal for people to have different perspectives on changes, and it’s okay to express their opinions. You might say, “It’s completely okay to have mixed feelings about changes, especially when it comes to how ChatGPT is used.”

    Express Empathy: Show empathy by expressing that you understand their concerns. For example, “I can see why the normalization of ChatGPT posts might be disheartening for you. Changes can be challenging, especially when they affect something we care about.”

    Highlight Positives: If there are positive aspects or potential benefits of ChatGPT posts, you can share those as well. For instance, “While the normalization of ChatGPT posts might bring changes, it’s also an opportunity for diverse discussions and perspectives to emerge.”

    Suggest Alternatives: If applicable, suggest alternative platforms or communities where they might find the type of content or discussions they prefer.

    Encourage Adaptation: Remind them that change is a constant part of life, and adapting to new circumstances can lead to new and positive experiences.

    Remember to approach the conversation with empathy and an open mind, allowing the person to express their feelings and thoughts freely.

    Good thing I checked, I was going to just insult you.

    LemmysMum,

    You could try spending less time on the computer, and spend it with real people in the real world who don’t have these concerns because they make up the 60% of people who only interact with the internet to like cool thins on instagram.

    Change is a constant part of life, adapting to new circumstances can lead to new and positive experiences, Like a conversation between two people and their feelings on AI generated content, in a calm and understanding environment.

    I think that I understand how you feel, but so that I can be sure you should tell me in your own words. I understand you have many reservations, maybe something I can say can alleviate your concerns.
