@nostupidquestions How does generative AI handle creoles? Does it get confused and respond like it’s one of the parent languages?

What you won’t find in the dictionary difference between dialects or creoles is historically racialized. A good example is Louisiana. Technically, Cajun is a subset of creole. But in practice Cajuns are white and Creoles are black.

Black dialects (In America) have historically been treated as bastardizations, pollution, or just plan ignorance of proper grammar and syntax. I witnessed the short life of “Ebonics” until it was ridiculed into oblivion. I can remember plenty of people who spoke a Southern dialect only loosely associated with English mercilessly mocking and doing impressions of AAVE.
Common parlance like “They don’t think it be that way, but it do” is a contemporary example of black dialect with syntax and rules as complex as any language being mocked as as stupidity, ignorance, and an inability to speak English.
I’m not the racist police. If you’ve laughed at these jokes or told them, I don’t think your a bad person. I’ve laughed and spread them myself. This is just an FYI.
@yesman hmm that talks about people creoles specifically american though. not language creoles. Once upon a time, our country also had creoles so I know about the term.
