@EPoe187 I think you're understating how deeply critics care about story and message when it violates, and find all sorts of aesthetic rationales for their disgust. eg Hillbilly Elegy, Passion etc.
@emollick i suspect partly there’s an identity incentive for both LLM companies and their coder users to make AI coding feel maximally “technical”. like family haulers getting framed as adventure/sport vehicles since the 90’s.
If you are interested in reading The Odyssey there is little need to rely on a single translation. ChatGPT provides excellent translations in a variety of forms. Here is original Greek followed by several translations.
ἄνδρα μοι ἔννεπε, μοῦσα, πολύτροπον, ὃς μάλα πολλὰ πλάγχθη, ἐπεὶ Τροίης ἱερὸν πτολίεθρον ἔπερσεν: πολλῶν δ᾽ ἀνθρώπων ἴδεν ἄστεα καὶ νόον ἔγνω, πολλὰ δ᾽ ὅ γ᾽ ἐν πόντῳ πάθεν ἄλγεα ὃν κατὰ θυμόν, 5ἀρνύμενος ἥν τε ψυχὴν καὶ νόστον ἑταίρων. ἀλλ᾽ οὐδ᾽ ὣς ἑτάρους ἐρρύσατο, ἱέμενός περ: αὐτῶν γὰρ σφετέρῃσιν ἀτασθαλίῃσιν ὄλοντο, νήπιοι, οἳ κατὰ βοῦς Ὑπερίονος Ἠελίοιο ἤσθιον: αὐτὰρ ὁ τοῖσιν ἀφείλετο νόστιμον ἦμαρ. 10τῶν ἁμόθεν γε, θεά, θύγατερ Διός, εἰπὲ καὶ ἡμῖν.
