I need assistance with a translation of text I have come across in some family crest or coat of arms. If there are multiple different ways of writing/ interpreting it that is very much welcome and encouraged.
The text is: NOLI CEDERE INFORTUNIUM, DEUS NOBISCUM EST

Sure, Reg, if your experience with AI is appreciable different from mine.

I've used AI just about every day for a very long time now. And although it makes mistakes at times, mostly it gets me on the right track...the track I was looking for.

Have you had some bad experiences?

@Frank Apisa,
AI was trained on my work, and the work of people I know personally, without honoring our copyrights. It's theft.

Oh ****. I ought to warn you: I sometimes make mistakes myself. I know, I know...I should have mentioned this 20 years ago...but I must have forgotten to do it.

That does seem to be a problem...in this age where everything is monetarized, I wish I could think of a way to deal with it. But I reflect on the fact that I was trained by teachers who stole the work of others in order to inform me. I suspect some of them did not honor the copyrights of others.

It happens. I've had ideas, thoughts, and passages stolen from me, Jespah. When I see it happen, I am so proud I almost burst. But then again...I never copyright anything. I'm hoping that some of the things I consider original (I doubt there are many "original ideas" now worth stealing) are stolen and made important or universal. In the long run, it matter less who invented the wheel or who first harnessed fire...than that the wheel was invented and fire harnessed.
