I can't wait till everyone is using this and we have absolutely zero idea whether or not it's actually translating things correctly or using it's own interpretations of things, going to be...awesomeeeeeeeee!
Curious, do you speak more than one language?
Edit: I just had a look at your comment history, do you realize you're like, incredibly pro LLM? Do you just scour HN looking for LLM articles and comment on them in a positive way? Not having a poke it's just interesting how keen you are.
Over here people speak multiple languages. I doubt we'll run out of people that speak multiple languages just because there's a language model that can do great translations.
If you're going to rag on a product's capabilities on x, you'd think the least you could do is use it for x first.
Are you spying on everyone ?
Google translate screws up for me really, really hard sometimes when I'm speaking Korean but I'm already a pretty strong speaker, native so I know how to work with the screw ups...and laugh about the really bad ones. I'm not going to go into a meeting and blast off with an auto-translator without understanding what I'm saying or have someone to make sure I'm saying the right thing by talking with them first.
I personally wouldn't feel comfortable using something like this for anything of real significance, a really good translator can ensure the message gets delivered.
I'd never just go to somewhere exotic and rely on it for anything significant based on my existing experience with these technologies.
