    “yah boss, we shipped the “AI enabled” version of the tone checker, we got it out the door like management wanted and its 20% more accurate than the last one”

    “Great job, this calls for a huge bonus for the CEO, now go add quantum encryption to the tone checker, management hears the investors are in to that now.”

      No no no, this is their entire pitch, like their business model. You pay specifically just for this feature

      Nah it can be genuinly very usefull. See DeepL for example, turned machine TL from laughing stock like Google Translate to something actually usable

        Funny you should mention that actually! At work, I’m just finishing up a website for two companies that are merging. One is English speaking, but the other required multiple languages to be available for the whole site.

        We used a system that uses DeepL. None of the non-English speakers (across 8 separate languages) say that the result is satisfactory. I know they might be being difficult etc but I was genuinely a bit surprised that entire swathes of the site is so poorly translated by DeepL that they’ve delayed the launch to go through and manually translate lol

          I had great results with Deepl for personal use translating various languages into German, but a lot of that definitely wouldn’t be acceptable for a corporate website, plus whole sentences are considerably easier to translate than navigational elements.

          TBH it’s news to me that Deepl translation is considered AI, AFAIK it’s not an LLM (though they might use LLMs for other products). Arguably LLMs aren’t really AI anyway, so maybe the difference really isn’t that big.
