What you’re citing aren’t LLMs, however, except for translation. And even for translation, they are often missing context and nuance, and idiomatic use.

- DiogenesKynikos 9mo agoLLMs are a million times better at machine translation than the prior state of the art. It's not even close.
- lossyalgo 9mo agoWhich models are you referring to when you say "they"? I regularly use chatGPT 5.2 for translating to multiple languages, and have checked the translations regularly with native speakers and most stuff is very spot-on and take into account context and nuance, especially if you feed them enough background information.
- tim333 9mo agoYeah, but the parent comment didn't mention LLMs. I think people get over hung up on the limitations of LLMs when there's a lot of other stuff going on. Most of the leading AI models do things other than language as well.
