@futurebird @emilymbender +1 agree.

We developed "typographic conventions" that allow us to reproduce the words of others with proper attribution. Japanese has a whole separate character used to write names and words of foreign origin.

We really ought to consider adopting such a convention for AI-generated text.

Those training the AI models are likely to find it incredibly useful as well.

@marshray @futurebird @emilymbender Technically katakana was just what was used for Japanese a really really long time ago. As it completely fell out of use it was repurposed. In some ways it's like how we give Latin names to modern things.

EDIT: Well, I stand corrected. Wikipedia says it was for transliteration from the start.

Though that's from Wikipedia, so... 😁
