I got an AI generated book in the language I'm learning, and I showed it to my tutor. We went through some stories and it was just a bunch of "wtf" because the model wasn't speaking the language like humans did.

So maybe some day, but I'm not counting on it.

But anyway, it is fun. We could have a whole generation that speaks exactly like ChatGPT. However, I still think a book and a simple conversation are a little bit different. Simple conversation is something AI is already good at.

I don't believe that. It's using the same faculties to generate the book as it does to have conversations. If it mismatches adjective genders, misuses casing, misuses tenses, uses the wrong words, etc. then I'm not going to be able to learn the language with it. That's what I'm getting out of these machines, is _very close to but obviously not_ the language I'm trying to learn.
