So since ChatGPT was released I have been using it as a conversation partner. But I would always be limited to purely text based content.
Shortly after, Google Bard was released. It is now multi modal and can analyse both text and images in multiple languages (including Japanese). I’ve found it to be useful when trying to better understand the context behind tweets and certain pages in manga which are vague. It’s definitely not 100% accurate, so I wouldn’t trust it for everything.
Example:
With this example, I would have never been able to understand it, because I had never heard of the れいわ新選組. Bard summarised who they are and provided further context.
Here I asked Bard to provide other examples of works by 井上雄彦 and tell me more about who he is. I then went on to ask it to check if what the original tweet was claiming about his works is true.
It’s free, so give it a try. It’s helped me a lot so I’m sure others could benefit.
