What’s wild to me is that we have basically manifested the Babel Fish in the last few years.

- th0ma5 1y agoHuh? We've had pretty good translation in some languages in many general purpose contexts for a while. The LLM stuff if you're referring to that to my knowledge only has some gains in some languages in some contexts. Which is exciting no doubt.
- pshc 1y agoCompared to google translate of yore, it’s gotten way more fluent thanks to transformers. Good translation relies heavily on context of course. Voice recognition and text to speech quality have increased dramatically. And near real-time (or as real-time as is possible given a pair of languages) is becoming feasible.
- th0ma5 1y agoFor sure, just the gains of LLMs in the mix cannot be measured and most still recommend human in the loop as always.
