    Great comparison, a dialect used by millions of people to a dead language. It really shows how much you care about the people who speak that dialect…

      AIs are trained on what is written in the Internet. Latin is not spoken, it’s written. But even then, it’s rarely used. African american is a dialect, it’s only present in speech.

        You need to get out more. I totally get that you would think that’s the case, but only if you’re not exploring parts of the internet outside your bubble. It’s absolutely written.

        There are actually quite a few books written in AAVE…the earliest I’m aware of is their eyes were watching god, from the 1930s. The Color Purple, Beloved, The Sellout, the books of Chester Himes…
