AI has made the experience of language learners way shittier because now people will just call them AI on the internet.
Also, imagine trying to learn a language and not being able to tell whether it’s your own lack of knowledge or if what you’re reading is actually AI slop and doesn’t make sense.
Wouldn’t someone make mistakes unlike AI?
What if you use AI to translate some text because you can’t express yourself well enough yet?
I think translation machines have always used similar language models
Depends on what you call a mistake. I was interacting on ich iel a while back (I don’t speak German but the meme had clear meaning as a fellow nurse) and they said chat gpt had almost perfect grammar but that it translated “median basillic vein” as the “median basil vein” (like the herb).
What if we had two circulatory systems, one for blood, and one for pesto?
Haven’t machine translators always been some form of language model? Pretty sure it was invented by training a system with two human translations of the same document/work
