> Seems like a non trivial problem to solve.

Took me 5 minutes to land this GPT prompt.

https://chatgpt.com/share/66e84c0c-a92c-800a-b452-255d6fe942...

Results:

- Chinese (Simplified) 四四 (sì sì) – sounds like "four-four", which can be associated with bad luck due to the number four in Chinese culture

- Arabic "Sisi" is a common nickname, also associated with Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi

- Russian Сиси (sisi) – slang for breasts

- Bulgarian Сиси (sisi) – slang for breasts

- Serbian Сиси (sisi) – slang for breasts

- Croatian Sisi – slang for breasts

You should probably complement with a web search and a wiktionary search because they have all languages on a single page.

Does ChatGPT get anything right, ever?

In Bulgarian the slang is Цици (tsi tsi). I imagine it's near-identical for many other Slavic languages.

Yeah I noticed it was pretty shaky, change the prompt a bit and the result changes a lot. Not very reliable after all by itself, but used in conjunction with other methods.

that's a nice start, maybe does 99% of the job, but to be 100% sure, you still need additional (manual?) checks.

Cool LLM application! Might not be enough though.

It’s not that straightforward due to spelling. Does that catch køk? Tihts? P. Nus? For a non English swear word, I had to ask 3 times and about a specific language to finally make that connection.

Tried with "hui" - for ChatGPT this word "has no specific meaning and is safe for use in any language".

I read about a company in the 1990s that did that. They went one step further - picking culturally appropriate colors, shapes, numbers, and then permuting the brand names to favorable variations for a country. My (probably wrong) 25 year old recollection was when they introduced subway in China they basically found a way to pronounce it that translated to "this place is delicious". I bet it was in Wired. If not that, probably New York Magazine.

That is sad, the name sisi comes from the sisi empress: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empress_Elisabeth_of_Austria

it's also the name of egypt's authoritarian leader

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdel_Fattah_el-Sisi

Yes this is the first thing that came to mind for me, strange name choice

Even if that was the intent, which it almost certainly isn't, why would it be strange enough to warrant discussion?

As an American who monitors world affairs, the choice of a quasi-authoritarian junta leader as a name would be quite novel.

Sounds like something one might try to train an AI to do :)

It's definitely not a good name in English either

I assume you're reading it as "sissy", but I read it as "seesee", which is fine in English.

I read it as sisi, but which means “thank you” in viet.

In cantonese it’s what a toddler might call poop

A lot of the prodemently used languages and libraries have references to feces if you speak Farsi.

Not as bad as the Pidora project
