Yeah, I have no idea how the likes of DeepL and other paid-for translators are going to survive long term when "GPT-4 and friends" are that good. What's their business plan?
DeppL tried to compensate by making their front-end more annoying and hijacking clicks and highlights which invalidate the browser spell checker, making it impossible to correct a word via click, which I guess is one way of expediting their demise.
The sad part is, in my small town there's the office of another small ML driven translation start-up that was way better than Google when it launched a few years ago, but now when I check their careers page, they're not hiring anymore which I guess says enough about their business and future growth plans. Dead man walking.
- circuit10 3y agoWell GPT-4 is very expensive (though that could change) Less so than hiring a human but not cheap enough that you’d want it to automatically translate long websites as a browser extension or anything like that
