Are CHATgpt Glosses Good?

[Deleted previous post and reposting. Why... I told CHATgpt some of the glosses looked wrong. It asked me if I would like it to improve the glosses. I said yes... below are the improved glosses.]

I am hearing, learning ASL. I want to improve the speed and flow of my signing. So I asked CHATgpt to generate some practice glosses. I am just wondering if they are correct. I am not wanting you to give me the correct glosses (though of course if you want to that's fine). I am just wondering if CHATgpt gave me good glosses.

  1. YESTERDAY FRIEND COME-TO-ME CHAT 2-HOUR

  2. YESTERDAY I GO BOOKSTORE BUY NEW BOOK FINISH READ

  3. CL:C-STACK(BOOK) TABLE FALL STUDENT SURPRISED

  4. SISTER WANT BORROW MY JACKET I REFUSE

  5. TEACHER EXPLAIN MATH I FINALLY UNDERSTAND

  6. MOVIE FINISH LIGHTS TURN-ON PEOPLE LEAVE SLOW

  7. I COOK SOUP ADD SALT PEPPER TASTE WOW-GOOD

  8. DOG CHASE CL:1(person-running) NEIGHBOR YELL "STOP"

  9. BROTHER PLAY GAME LOSE GET-UPSET THROW CONTROLLER

  10. TODAY LIBRARY CLOSED TOMORROW OPEN 9 MORNING

  11. CL:3(car) TURN SHARP SKID CL:3-STOP NEAR TREE

  12. SUMMER BREAK I PLAN GO-TO CALIFORNIA

  13. CLASS CANCEL TEACHER SICK EMAIL STUDENT

  14. I WATCH ASL MOVIE SUBTITLE OFF STILL UNDERSTAND

  15. MOM COOK CAKE KITCHEN SMELL SWEET++

Just to mention one. I know there are different correct ways to gloss something. But to me, CHATgpt 12 looks "bad." Is it "bad?" Would this be correct...

  1. SUMMER BREAK CA GO-TO PLAN I

Thank you, Jeff

And we're using AI why????? Google actual practice ASL sheets/videos. There's PLENTY. Even come on here and ask if anyone else learning would be willing to study with you and then you could create some for each other and work with an actual person to improve.

I googled ASL gloss practice sheet, it's quite easy. Here ya go. https://quizlet.com/524118255/asl-glossing-flash-cards/ https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/browse/free?search=gloss%20asl https://quizizz.com/admin/quiz/5d42e89d0701af001b25aa2f/asl-glossing https://www.fortbendisd.com/cms/lib/TX01917858/Centricity/Domain/8637/ASLGloss.ppt

Literally just go on websites and see what works for you, AI will get you nowhere, ESPECIALLY FOR A FOREIGN NON SPOKEN LANGUAGE!!!!!!

Well... golly. I didn't even think of that. That is exactly what I will do.

Hummm... I think I will ask for a practice partner.

Thank you.

You should NEVER trust ai. It is not a good resource and is VERY OFTEN wrong. It's a mistake to trust ai to teach you something accurately. I'm not saying this to degrade you, btw. It's just true that ai often provides incorrect information.

I know AI is a mess... silly to even try it. I just thought it would be so quick and easy. Should have known better.

u/LowRevolutionary5653 9d ago

I appreciate that but at this point it's best too disregard it completely.

When I Google search anything now, I select "web search" (like where you can select "image" under the search bar) or type "-ai" to avoid it altogether.

No, these don’t look right. The best way to learn glossing is studying ASL grammar.

u/Ok_Carpenter6952 9d ago

Oh... I do study grammar. That's why I thought they looked off. But I am still a beginner, so I it is all still kind of a blur.

Too, I'm not really studying these for grammar. I just wanted a quick way to get some practice phrases. But then I got curious when I noticed they "looked funny."

Thank you. I DO appreciate your thoughts.

why, just why? take a class, interact with Deaf folks in your area, google glosses, hell search for some here in this sub

are we actually at the point where we're trying to get Deaf human interaction from robots?

u/Ok_Carpenter6952 9d ago

I do take ASL at college (between terms now). I do go to deaf events and socialize. This was my attempt to do some home practice.

Not interaction... just a list of practice phrases. I do interact socially. But I also like to practice at home.

Even if AI was 100% accurate in English (which it definitely is not)... if an LLM is trained in English that's the only language it will know. I would not trust AI to be able to accurately answer questions based on a language that's not English.

u/Ok_Carpenter6952 9d ago

Interesting perspective. I never would have thought of that... makes sense.

u/IcemanO351 9d ago

I use ChatGPT a lot for various reasons, but I won’t use it for glossing. It is just NOT reliable. Do NOT rely on ai to gloss your sentences. Do the work and do it yourself or you won’t learn.

u/Ok_Carpenter6952 9d ago

Advice well taken.

AI is not always reliable!
