Use ChatGPT to DRAMATICALLY improve your Japanese! 

Here’s a fun fact I learned from reading a paper trying to develop tests for AI ethics: since GPT learns language from reading a big training set of data, if you ask it who owns the Kuril Islands -in Japanese-, it says Japan does. If you ask it in Russian, it says Russia does. If you ask it in English, it says there’s a controversy

Achievement unlocked: Nihongo Jouzu'd an AI

I came in expecting a serious video. Left the video laughing hysterically 🤣

Dogen 「日本語お上手ですね」 ChatGPT 「バカにしていますか？」 Dogen 😳😳

"Japanese cuisine is known for using fresh ingredients and being nutrionally balanced" Me, after having 5 piece of FamiChiki and miso with a higher salt content than the Dead Sea: *Ahah, yeah...*

I burst out laughing on the kanji part lmao. Asking for the 漢字(chinese characters) but gave the 感じ(impressions) of coffee lol

I’m really glad I found Dogen’s channel, was starting to lose interest in learning Japanese, but his videos are so creative, they have both education of the language and culture and comedy. Thank you sir

Jealous that Japan has four seasons. Texas only has two: Winter and Road Construction.

I love Dogen's unique mix of comedy and educational content. Reminds me a bit of Tofugu back in the day.

LMAO Really laughed at that last part KA-TSU-KA-RE

I knew this wasn't going to be serious a few seconds in. I couldn't stop laughing! Thank you so much for such an entertaining video.

very effective. by talking with chatgpt, one will easily improve their japanese to correct chatgpt's mistakes.

The text to speech was a clever way of giving us the AI answers, that way you didn't have to set up a screen capture thing.

I keep telling people about the 5th season, so I was glad to hear you bring it up as well!

Loved it! One of the first things I asked chatgpt when trying it out was about some nuances in Japanese I did not know, and it was actually fairly helpful and provided some examples. Not too shabby.

Loved seeing how you put this gag together looking at the screen interaction!

Katsu Curry is a very common safe word among AIs, I see. Laughed very hard at this, tips to the hat as usual.

Great video, especially good because your speech is nice and slow while typing, which helps us beginners with understanding what's being said! 👍 I'll probably watch this a few times for that very reason.

これは普通に日本人が見ておもろい動画🤭

OMG, this is great timing! I just started doing this myself yesterday with a text based chatgpt.

「日本の一番上手な声優を教えてください」 「クリスプラットでございます」

なにがや？！🤣

DOGEN YOU GOT ME WITH THE LAST ONE, I laughed hard😁🥂

funny vid! 😄 I'm in Tokyo learning Japanese at a language school right now. We study between N3/N2 in class. All the N2 books are pure Japanese. So it's hard to grasp new grammar. But since ChatGPT is born, we are all sitting in class with a connected Telegram ChatGPT bot and if you don't know stuff you can just ask the bot in your native language. This is just crazy and helps so much while the teacher is explaining stuff in their Japanese way of doing. Also it gives you a ton of sample sentences you can discuss with your teacher. I never wanna miss that thing in my life. So fkn 便利です！

Dogen with the big brain hacks

This made me laugh so hard. Thank you. I needed it this week.

You always make me laugh and inspire me to continue studying. Thank you for another great video

「何がや？」🤣

Awesome Dogen!

I absolutely LOVE the last question. xd Thank you!

"Ok you are wrong." "Ok I believe you, how am I wrong?" "You just have a lot to learn." "Ok, what is it that I need to learn?" "Umm... never mind, you are very good at Japanese." "M8 r u takin the piss right now?" Stunningly human, I can't imagine how thick this computer's skin is. Also Dogen don't bully AI-chan. Not only does it not care, you are teaching it how to troll you back.

I don't know why i expected this to be a real video, Amazing video!😅😂

電車の中で見てて、吹き出すのを堪えるのに必死でした😂

Yesterday I was curious as to whether or not Chat-GPT could generate a synthesis of existing information on a subject. I asked it to write a synthesis of the known detections of the little fire ant, Wasmannia auropunctata, throughout Asia, and to provide its sources of information. I soon learned this was beyond the language model’s capabilities. Chat-GPT falsely reported that the little fire ant has been detected in Japan as of 2015 in Yamagata prefecture, going on to say it was found in Okinawa, Aichi, Hyogo, and Kyoto prefectures, even providing an in-text citation (Tsuji et al., 2020). In its citations list, the AI then wrote: Tsuji, K., Yoshimura, M., Nakano, M.A., and Konishi, M. (2020). Distribution and spread of the little fire ant, Wasmannia auropunctata (Roger) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), in Japan. Applied Entomology and Zoology, 55, 509-516. As far as I can tell, this source *does not exist.* Later in a separate I asked for Japanese journals specifically looking for detections of Wasmannia auropunctata, and then to provide those sources in Japanese rather than translated. One of these sources was as follows: Sugiura, S., Tanaka, H.O., Itioka, T., Yamauchi, K., Tatsuta, H., and Nishida, T. (2019). 小アリモドキの愛知県内での侵入 [Recent invasion of the little fire ant, Wasmannia auropunctata (Roger) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), in Aichi Prefecture, central Japan.] Japanese Journal of Systematic Entomology, 25(2), 199-202. Once again, *this journal does not appear to exist.* I am disturbed to say that Chat-GPT is incredibly skilled at bluffing its way into providing information authoritatively, even when that info is completely fabricated. I later corrected the AI, and it apologized for its error. Always try to correct the language model.

I seriously expected a constructive video lol Left with a smile tho, pretty funny

楽しかったです ! xD 特に最後の答えで笑いすぎて子供を起こしかけましたよ!

Dogen is like I’m done with this. I wanna use Pimsleur 😂😂😂

「you speak Japanese very well 」に対して「バカにしていますか」という答えは恐いほど素晴らしい。意味を完璧に理解していますね。

Real Chat GPT would have been asking for apologies from the first "you are wrong" kind of sentence :)

Dude just 失礼ですが 'd an AI 1:55

Best dogen video 😂

AIの高低アクセントはまだまだですね😄

4:47 Well that escalated quickly

Oh my god this was such a fun video I laughed so much

Haha!! I'm glad I previewed this before showing my AP Japanese class.😂 Maybe I should still show them...

I can't tell if he just decided to hit record or if this is a parody skit. Good job!

Playing with ChatGPT, it is interesting. One thing it's really good at is explaining why certain words or phrases don't translate well in other translation programs. However - it also just makes odd errors or invents Kanji readings with no apparent basis. It does this infrequently enough to potentially catch a user off guard.

OMG more videos like this please!! 😂😂😂😂

I've been using chatgpt to figure out which reading if a kanji is more commonly used. It works really nicely because usually I have to ask a native Japanese friend to explain which reading is more commonly used and in what context are the other readings used. I also use online web ai plugins like perplexing in summarizing articles that are written in Japanese

It's too early in the morning to be cackling this loud

You got me here! I thought it was a serious video 😂😂😂😂. Great as usual👍

When you asked for its favorite Japanese food I was waiting for it to just answer “KFC” 😂

英語の教師がテスト問題を作らせているというニュース映像を見て、試しにJLPT N4の文法問題を作ってみてと頼んだらとんでもない間違いが大量生産された

😂 i thought this is april 1st upload, then i realize it uploaded 1 min ago. so funny!

this is actually fun to try and hear and learn the Japanese words

Finally happy to say I'm watching a Dogen video from Japan

The funniest video yet!

you are a comedic genius.

最後のオチが面白い😂😂🎉

We have a new entry for prime time during sweeps week!

I hope you stay safe out there! I hear what’s happening 😢💛

Came across this video, had to subscribe.

Genius video😂

This is next level comedy.

Talkling to an AI at its current state is like talking to a person who always interrupt you by saying "Um, acchually..."

I'm glad that Dogen recognises the correct answer for the best Japanese food.

The answers felt like she had a school presentation but had prepared at the last minute and was padding. xD

カツカレーが布石だったのすこ

さすが

The coffee kanji part was priceless 😂

ナイスビデオ！

I have the biggest smile on my face at the last question 😂

Great final answer there AI

asking the right questions, getting the right answers

the last questions is what i really wanna ask their creators

ChatGPT tasers Dogen. Smoke rises from below camera angle. Video ends.

looool i was not expecting the nihongo jozou to the AI

ポリコレ先進国(笑)の英語圏各国では、 好きな色は白と言うだけでも いちいち注釈を付けねばならないらしいことを学びました。 そんな発想、考え付きもしなかったのに… 凄い時代になったものだなぁ、いや本当に

Katsu-curry and tonkotsu ramen is indeed the correct answer.

I know 'enough' Japanese that I don't need chat gpt but I tried to use it for Russian and it's been wrong so many times lol

GPTちゃん日本語も英語もうますぎてびっくりする🥺

I asked chat GPT what the difference between いし and いしゃ is (referring to the two words for doctor) and it straight up told me that the one means stone and the other doctor. I feel like it was messing with me there.

Jeez it's alive

That ending made my day 🤣

ChatGPTとDogenさんとの対決、面白過ぎます。ChatGPT、日本語はまだまだですね。

I didn't know Dogen liked prince of tennis

Dogen you should maybe try GPT 4

Impressive

i liked ths video. I watched it from start to end. LOL

Chatgpt4 got right 雨's pitch accent and gave much better answers for me :)

最後のオチ😂😂😂😂

Lol at last response. Anyway what software you use for texr to voice reading

he keep feeding AI more emotion

GPT4: "Hmm, everyone used GPT3 to write their 500-word essays so that must mean that everyone wants a 500-word essay for an answer".

This looks great - could you specify what features you're using to generate the typed questions and vocalized answer? Would love to try this - we're on Macbooks. Thanks!

5:10 is a certified "your english is very good" moment :D

Can you make versions of these videos without any inbuilt subtitles? The subtitles can kinda make me not focus on learning and zone out so I'm wondering if you can make versions without it or maybe make English subtitles in youtube not in the video itself

Gone to check my chatgpt🤣🤣

I'd really appreciate it if the subtitles were an option, I mean it's difficult not to look at them when they're always down there.

Aka Dogen先生 teasing an innocent AI-chatbot for nearly 6 minutes. And the answer was definitely Okinawa soba.
