> Google Translate, DeepL and Firefox Translate have done this use-case already, much more efficiently than LLMs. They may have been more efficient, but the transformer-based Google Translate we have today is way better at its job than its predecessors, and the old Google Translate wasn't capable of other NLU tasks that can now all be done by transformers (and again, all better than the previous specialized tools). I agree that transformer-as-Turing-machine isn't really solving any problems, but transformers have been nothing short of revolutionary for tasks that have usually been hard for plain Turing computation.
