I actually like some of the AI stuff in Mozilla.
I disabled the AI summaries, but the automatic translation support is very helpful. And I'd love to have automatic subtitles and/or translation support for videos.
- lxgr 1y ago> the automatic translation support is very helpful. It's great, and I love that it works fully on-device, i.e., it's as privacy-preserving as it gets.
- queenkjuul 1y agoPretty sure i read that the translation is not AI (LLM) based
- cycomanic 1y agoWhen I read posts like this I despair. I mean I can sort of understand that ML an AI have become largely synonymous, but that even on a technical website for nerds like HN, people now think that AI and LLMs are synonymous and that translation engines are not AI?!
- jcranmer 1y agoAIUI, the AI-based translation models are based on the same transformer-oriented neural nets that LLMs are based on, just not quite writ as large. In other words, it's not entirely inaccurate to call these models LLMs. While there's a lot of other AI technologies that aren't LLMs, automatic translation is probably the closest technology phylogenitically speaking.
