Lost in tranlation:
I not quite comfortable on how the Borges quote was translated.
To show the difference, the new TRANSLATE version, translates again to spanish as:
Tu no eres lo que escribes, eres lo que has leido.
A bit different from Borges original phrase meaning.
A sentence with a closer meaning (but a bad translation) would be:
One's way of being is not (caused) for what you have write, but for what you have read.
>Grinning, Pichai read aloud an awkward English version of the sentence that had been rendered by the old Translate system: “One is not what is for what he writes, but for what he has read.”
>To the right of that was a new A.I.-rendered version: “You are not what you write, but what you have read.”
edit: formating
