- mistrial9 4y agodepending on the domain !! it is absolutely confident, right, wrong or in the middle.. actually "dangerous" if you think about a few contexts
- drexlspivey 4y agoI tried using it to translate subtitles for a movie and the results were pretty bad. I found DeepL giving marginally better results but those were pretty bad as well. To the point that I uploaded the subtitles in opensubtitles.org and they were taken down because of very low quality.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoIt’s able to translate dead languages reasonably well, too. I asked it to translate various text into Pali and it did a good job, and did a reasonable job providing the text of various Buddhist sutta and decent translations into English.
- brink 4y agoMy wife speaks Bemba - a fairly common language in South-central Africa. I just asked it to translate a sentence to Bemba and it failed miserably. What it put out wasn't even Bemba, she didn't know what language it was.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoI guess is it common on the internet? Pali is widely translated and referred to and available (in the Buddhist canon, the original Buddhist teaches were first written in Pali and so it’s widely studied ala Latin). I was impressed but not surprised it was able to do it.
