- dodslaser 4y agoDeepL [1] usually does better in my experience, but I suspect Google Translate has gotten better since last time I used it. [1] www.deepl.com
- frabcus 4y agoLLMs are better at context - as far as I can tell Google Translate only does one sentence at a time. With GPT-3 it infers things like gender and formality from earlier context. Not clear yet how good GPT-4 is as OpenAI won’t say what training data it has, even rough volumes, in each human language. Needs some thorough research testing it.
- fomine3 4y agoYo, check this out! DeepL is like way better than Google Translate, so you should totally use it. But, GPT-4 is like a game-changer, dude! It's obvi way better than DeepL, and it can do all sorts of stuff like rewording, explaining in detail, and changing up the style. This text was translated from Japanese to gamer-style English by ChatGPT-4, no joke!
- have_faith 4y agoThis passes for “gamer-style” English?
- throwaway2037 4y agoI had to read GP twice, plus your comment to realise it might been generated by a GPT-ish service. Damn, this stuff is getting good.
- literalAardvark 4y agoFor something machine translated from Japanese? Yes, it's astonishing, actually.
