Obligatoric Babelfish reference:
Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation.
Let’s get ai into the right hands first and make it sustainable for this planet.
The issue would be the languages having different syntaxes (syntaces?).
I dont know how well LLMs work translating chinese to english, but for the uses i give it: spanish, french, german and english, i dont see any issues. I did have some issues translating russian to english though... the stupid bot decided that i invented a modal verb
Here, just let me put this fish in your ear.
Oh dear. I hadn't thought of that. poof
Helping people understand each other is in the opposite of the interests of those with power and wealth.
Impossible, as the structure of language is not the same so you will always have lag or you need context to get the right meaning of a word. If someone is going to a ball, are they going to a dance, or getting a toy off the ground?
Anyone who knows at least two languages can tell you that you need to listen to the whole sentence before you can start translating. Usually there’s something in the end that changes everything. In many cases, the word order is more or less reversed, so you have to start translating from the end.
It's still not impossible, since professional humans can do it too. It'll never be 100% accurate though and that's just something we have to accept.
chat the entered japanese
Seems like a lot of asian languages follow this structure, a bunch of Indian languages are like this as well
Turkish the chat to also enter it did
that doesn't sound too far from japanese !
(my phrase above does not follow japanese syntax exactly, I was just being facetious. It would go subject ->object -> past participe)
Indeed Japanese the chat entered.
dattebayo!
...nai
yo!
Maybe just get AI to the point it knows that I’m taking my toy to the dance, and remembers that for the next piece of the convo?
ai investment sould go to public education so we can all learn whatever language we like
Right?
It drives me nuts that they want to spend trillions of dollars on technology to write for people instead of teaching people how to write.
As they say, "suck a man's penis, satisfy him for a day. Teach a man to suck a penis, and he'll insist instead you just do the sucking again this time."
Doesn't this already exist?
Yep I have some. We've been waiting for them to add Bulgarian so my husband can use them to learn.

Apple already has this, and I think google or Samsung also have something similar.
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
