| Soundwave said: It works like shit in an actual conversation. If you want to get a rough idea of what someone is saying, sure but even then these programs still struggle to translate even a paragraph of text properly without errors, let alone being able to fluently translate an actual conversation between two people. In your message right there, there's several errors. I was using Google translate with an elderly neighbor and it was a complete pain in the ass and unnatural with the two of us having to phrase things differently like several times in just a short conversation, his 7 year old grandson was able to translate what we were saying back and forth like 10x better and faster. The technology can't even "think" at the level of a 6-7 year old child, which isn't terribly shocking because human beings don't even fully understand how the human brain works. |
When the AI translates into spanish the errors are minimal. I understand everything.
And you say that doesn't happen in english? I didn't know that.
In my country, in language classes, the first thing they teach us is this:
“When you read a foreign language you don't need to know all the words or understand everything. Having a general idea of what the text says is usually more than enough”
